PHYSICAL EDUCATION

AT ST MARY & ST JOSEPHS

 

OUR VISION

 

Here at St Mary and St Joseph’s Primary School (SMSJ) we put PESSPA at the heart of our wonderful school. Our Physical Education provision ensures that children experience a safe and supportive environment that helps build a lifelong passion for sport and health. We recognise that for children to be able to perform in PE with increased confidence and competence and to advance knowledge, skills and understanding, a holistic approach is needed. Pupils learn to understand that PE is a subject that plays a huge role for their social, emotional and cognitive development as well as their spiritual, cultural and moral development and are allowed ways to explore this. A physically literate child will have the confidence and knowledge to develop a love of movement and be active for life- this is our aim at SMSJ.

 

Each child, regardless of gender, race or ability will be given the opportunity to take part in positive, fun, challenging lessons that linked with our S.P.I.R.I.T values, will help them to become innovative, independent members of society who will not be afraid to participate in, take risks and even lead situations.

 

Specially-designed units of work linked to the PE National Curriculum created by the  Lancashire PE Passport App are explored, taught and built upon by the PE specialist from EYFS-Year 6 pupils. A balanced and broad PE curriculum focused on the mastery of fundamental movement skills, sport specific skills, knowledge & Understanding and a wide variety of extra-curricular opportunities, competitions and activities are available to enable all children to achieve the 4 aims of the National Curriculum. Lessons will be planned to provide appropriate challenge for all pupils, to extend more able and provide appropriate levels of support in order for all pupils to make progress.  Learning will be revisited if necessary each year to ensure progress is made and that there is secure knowledge and understanding of skills. A mixture of traditional and new emerging sports are played during the year and through assessment and constant observations, groups focused on SEN, pupil premium and our High achieving children are ran throughout the week.

 

 

Families are encouraged to explore activities outside of school and supported with ideas and decisions that will help the children to be brave enough to join clubs and gain the confidence and skills to become physically active for life. Our PESSPA notice board celebrates the activities and achievements that our pupils do in and outside of school and encourages our younger children to aspire to their older role models.

Our favourite day of the year! To celebrate our โ€˜ Healthy Mind, Body & Spiritโ€™ week and to round off a brilliant half term of dance in our curriculum we had professional dancer Dominique Boyle into school to teach everyone a Bollywood dance. Dominique has performed on TV shows and has danced all over the world including India where she was in Bollywood films, award shows and music videos and we are so lucky that she gave up her time to come and show us what dance can do for us not only physically but mentally & spiritually! Every single pupil gave 100% and even performed in front of the whole school! I was the proudest teacher in town.
