Primary PE and Premium

At St.Joseph’s, we have always placed a high importance on our PE and school sport provision. We are lucky to have an enthusiastic team of staff who not only deliver high quality teaching of PE during curriculum time, but also commit themselves to providing a wide range of opportunities for children to enjoy PE and Sport through before school, after school and lunchtime clubs. We endeavour to deliver a high quality physical education programme, which develops competence and confidence. We seek to offer opportunities for children to become physically literate young people by promoting personal development, health and well-being, enjoyment, success and achievement of all pupils across the curriculum and beyond.

The Government is continuing to provide funding to improve the provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary school with the aim of continuing the sporting legacy from the London 2012 .

In some competitions, school entered A, B and C teams, which meant that a large number of children could participate. The SSP also ran interschool competitions in EYFS, KS1, LKS2 and UKS2, meaning that every children was exposed to an element of competition. SSP also ran after school clubs across the school so that each child had the opportunity to participate in sport.
