Sport & PE Provision

PE Provision

Here at St Philip's, PE is central to developing pupils’ physical, social, and emotional wellbeing. We aim to inspire all children to enjoy being active, discover new skills, and develop a lifelong love of sport and healthy lifestyles.

Mr. Hayward, our PE Lead and HLTA, ensures lessons are engaging, inclusive, and high-quality. Pupils experience a wide range of activities, from wrestling and TAG rugby to new sports such as American Football, Fencing, Tri Golf, and Archery. This variety gives children the confidence to try new challenges and discover personal interests.

PE is inclusive for all pupils, with opportunities adapted to meet different needs and abilities. Equality of opportunity is at the heart of our provision. After-school clubs are well attended and continue to grow, offering further opportunities for participation and enjoyment.

Through competitions, festivals, fixtures and partnerships with our EIP cluster of schools, pupils develop teamwork, resilience, and sportsmanship, while also raising the profile of PE across our community.

Supported by Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Hayward is committed to ensuring every child has the chance to succeed in PE, become more active, and develop the skills and confidence to lead healthy, active lives.

Swimming

Currently, 46.9% of our year 6 leavers pupils can pass the national curriculum standard for swimming 2024/25.

46.9% of our year 6 pupils can competently, confidently and proficiently swim over a distance of at least 25 meters.

46.9% of our year 6 pupils can use a range of strokes effectively.

100% of our year 6 pupils can perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.

This year, Years 4, 5, and 6 will have a term of lessons each. We hope that in the long term, this will enable all pupils to pass the national standard in swimming.
