PE Statement

PE is Powerful Education at St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School. At St Joseph’s we deliver a curriculum that not only enables our children to develop fundamental motor skills but it also encourages the development of a health mind, body and spirit. This equips our children for life-long skills to participant in sport and physical activity in school and beyond. We believe that an innovative, varied PE curriculum plus extra-curricular opportunities has a positive influence on the concentration, attitude and academic achievement of all our students.

Curriculum

We are dedicated to delivering 2 hours of high-quality physical education lessons a week. Our PE curriculum is balanced, varied and embedded in ensuring children develop fundamental motor skills. 

This process begins in the Early Years were children are introduced to key skills such as; running, jumping, co-ordination, balance, agility, throwing and catching. These are acquired through discrete Physical Development lessons such as Smart Moves, Mini Yoga and Bike Balancability and through embedded activities in their indoor and outdoor classroom environment.

As the children progress throughout the school these core skills are then built upon and transferable skills are developed through traditional sports (see our long term plan, KS1 skills progression and KS2 Skills progression for more info). This enables pupils to develop the skills necessary for competitive sport and ensures pupils are ‘high school ready’ by the end of Year 6. More unusual sports are delivered to our pupils by our Sports Crew and Albion Ambassadors, our young leaders, who deliver in school competitions to all pupils. It aims to introduce a variety of fun and engaging activities which inspire the children to lead active lifestyles beyond school. It also encourages our Keystage 2 pupils to develop valuable lifelong coaching and leadership skills.

 

School Games

At St Joseph’s we committed to working with School Games and out Catholic Partnership to keep competitive sport at the heart of our school and provide all of our children with the opportunity to compete and achieve their personal best. We also offer a variety of extra-curricular sporting activities to enrich our curriculum and equip children with the necessary skills to compete. Opportunities to compete in sport and other activities builds character and helps to embed values and learner attributes such as determination, passion, honesty, self-belief, teamwork and respect. We currently hold a Gold School Games award and are currently working towards our Platinum award.
