Physical Education
Our Curriculum Intent
P.E., Dance, Gymnastics, Athletics and Sports all feature as key components of our curriculum. The promotion and leadership of health and well-being is vital to ensure children’s opportunities to learn through physical activity are embedded.
Our annual Sports Day also provides a balance between competitive racing and team participation. The introduction of House Teams has been a real success, supporting healthy competition within school.
Information on our PE and sports premium can be found here.
Please find our PE Policy and curriculum overview below.
Swimming is taught in KS2. These form the core activities of the PE Curriculum. Each class has two high quality PE lessons each week.
St John’s also run extra-curricular sporting activities across both key stages at different times of the year, including football, cross-country, circus skills and parkour. The school is developing its participation in out-of-school competition across the borough and in local events to give our children more opportunities to further improve their skills and enjoyment in physical activity and to understand the value of competition. We are very proud of all our children and their sporting achievements. They work well in teams and produce results we can all be very proud of.
All physical education experiences are intended to challenge all abilities and offer stimulating and inspiring learning. We also aim to promote the values of exercise, healthy living and foster enthusiasm for physical activities that will promote a lifelong interest in physical education as a whole.
To ensure that the children receive high quality PE teaching, we use HW School Skills who provide us with an expert coach who teaches PE during PPA time. (For more information visit the HWSS website) https://hwschoolskills.com/harry-watling
