‘I can do all through Christ who strengthens me’- Philippians 4:13
Our Intent:
At St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, At St Joseph’s, we believe it is our responsibility to help pupils and staff establish and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Regular physical activity plays a vital role in supporting physical health, mental well-being, and overall happiness. By providing pupils with opportunities to take part in a wide range of enjoyable physical activities from an early age, we aim to inspire a lifelong love of being active.
Physical Education is given a high priority within our curriculum, as it often brings success and engagement where other areas may not. Through PE, children develop self-confidence, self-esteem, and a positive attitude towards leading a healthy, active life. It also widens social opportunities for all our pupils and their families, encouraging teamwork, respect, and community spirit.
Our PE lessons are engaging, inclusive, and progressive, building upon prior knowledge and connecting across the curriculum. We provide a variety of opportunities for children to develop skills in areas such as dance, athletics, and outdoor education. Every child is encouraged to achieve personal success, gain confidence, and discover enjoyment through sport and physical activity.
At St Joseph’s, children learn the lifelong benefits of a healthy lifestyle, developing transferable skills such as teamwork, fairness, and problem-solving that extend well beyond the sports field.
