PE Report 2017-2018 Terms 1-4
At St. Joseph’s we believe that Physical Education and competitive sport are fundamental to growing children’s self-esteem, physical and mental fitness and general well-being. All staff at St. Joseph’s embrace this vision and prepare, deliver and reflect on each session of Physical Education taught in their class
The weather over the Autumn and Winter has not be as kind as in previous years and as a result we have not been able to take advantage of our wonderful field. This has also resulted in a number of cluster events being cancelled as the Gordano Astroturf was affected by flooding which resulted in serious damage.
So far this school year we have had a whole school cross-country event. Those children who finished in the top three of their year group were then selected to represent the school in a Cluster event.
We have also introduced further staff training this year. We are lucky enough to have expert dance tuition from Reception-Year 6 which teaching staff participate in and learn from and thus be able to ensure an even higher standard of provision in this all inclusive area of physical education. In terms 3 and 4 every class will have weekly gymnastic lesson provided by fully qualified coaches
Even though it is still fairly early in the school year a number of our KS2 children have had the opportunity to represent the school in Cluster and North Somerset events.
Particular highlights have been;
As in previous years all Year 3 and 4 children have the fantastic opportunity of weekly swimming lessons from September through to April. These lessons are delivered by trained staff and all abilities are supported and developed though differentiated delivery.
Hopefully, the weather will continue to be kind to us and we will be able to organise a range of sporting fixtures as the evenings become lighter.
As we look towards Terms 5&6 we can also look forward to-

(St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School)
At St. Joseph’s Primary school, we believe that all children have the right to quality Physical Education provision that links to all aspects of the curriculum. We believe that each and every child must have the opportunity to represent the school in a range of sporting events against other schools to improve self-confidence, teamwork and fitness.

Sports Premium 2016-2017
Like all maintained schools, St Joseph's benefits from additional funding for sports and PE. The spending on this are for the financial year 2016-2017 can be broken down as follows:
Training for Staff
All staff are shadowing an experienced dance teacher who delivers weekly lessons from Reception class up to Year 6. The staff have been ‘upskilled’ and thus are able to understand the simplicity and requirements on delivering dance which is an all-inclusive area of the PE curriculum. (Terms 1 and 2)
A gymnastics coach will deliver high quality teacher training whilst delivering gymnastics coaching to all children. ( terms 3 and 4)
The PE lead has recently attended an ‘Outdoor learning’ conference which highlighted the importance and benefits of linking curriculum areas and stimulating enjoyment of physical learning.
Resources
The school is very well resourced as a substantial amount of last year’s budget was spent on equipment. However, due to use and general wear and tear, part of this year’s budget will be spent on ‘topping up’ the PE resources. The PE lead is also sourcing metal football goals which can be used for many years to come unlike the plastic type which have a short life span of around 24 months.
Extra-curricular activities
As a result of the above additions to our resources and staff training, more children are now participating in the sporting life of our school; there has been an increase in the take-up of extra-curricular clubs, more involvement in inter-school competitions (football, rugby, cross-country, swimming, athletics, archery) and using sports as a fundraising activity. Children on the Pupil Premium register are also being supported so that they can access these activities.
Travel
In order for children to take part in some competitive events, the school has organised transport enabling pupils from all backgrounds to participate.
