PE
Intent
At St Joseph’s we intend for our children to be confident individuals who live healthy and active lives. A positive experience of Sport and Physical Education at a young age can help build a lifetime of healthy habits and participation in sports. Physical activity has numerous benefits for children and young people, including physical health and mental wellbeing. It helps to increase self-esteem and emotional wellbeing as well as lowering anxiety and depression. Children who take part in physical activity are happier, more resilient and more trusting of their peers, it also improves behaviour and enhances academic achievement.
Implementation
The Sport and Physical Education curriculum is covered through the implementation of Real PE where children develop the knowledge and skills necessary for social, emotional and physical wellbeing. We aim to deliver high quality teaching and learning opportunities that inspire all children to succeed in physical activities. Pupils at St Joseph’s participate in weekly PE and sporting activities. PE is further supplemented with after school clubs delivered by our Sports Leader.
Impact
The impact of our Sport and Physical Education curriculum is that our children receive a broad and balanced PE curriculum regardless of year group or ability. Every child accesses all the key areas of the subject on offer at our school. We follow the Real PE programme which has clear progression of skills and knowledge that cover the curriculum offer to ensure that all children access PE at an age appropriate level. Competitions ensure our children can take part in a range of sports both in and outside of school whether that be at a competitive or non-competitive level.

Boccia February 2023
Here are our Year 3 and 4 team ready for the Boccia School Games competition this afternoon representing our school. We did not win the award but we were awarded the award for 'self belief'. Boccia is game where the aim is to get closer to the jack than your opponent. The jack ball is white and is thrown first then one side has six red balls and the other has six blue balls. The balls are leather containing plastic granules so they don't bounce but will still roll. The side whose ball is not closest to the jack throws until they get a ball closest or until they run out of balls. Once all the balls have been thrown one side receives points for every ball they have closer to the jack than their opponents closest ball.

They showcase was fantastic!
