PE

The school are striving to achieve a physically educated and physically active school community. With help from our teachers, students, parents and wider community we hope that in 2019 our school will be recognised as an official ‘Active School’. As always, when the school community puts our collective minds to something we can achieve big things. This will be no different. So with everyone’s help, ideas and support, we expect to be flying the Active School Flag with pride at the end of this school year.

• Each class is taught five different PE strands each year from Athletics, Aquatics, Dance, Gymnastics, Games, Outdoor and Adventure.
• Teachers make use of the PSSI lesson plans to guide their delivery of the Primary PE Curriculum.
• Specialist coaching in dancing and swimming is provided from 3^rd-6^th
• Every child’s progress in PE is discussed at parent/teacher meetings.
• Feedback about progress in PE is included in our annual school reports.
• An Annual Sports Day takes place in the last term of the year.
• School tours that are activity based are promoted throughout the school.
• Our school has a detailed inventory of equipment which is checked and updated with the assistance of the Active School Committee regularly.
• Our PE equipment and resources are clearly labelled, well organised and accessible and our school strives to make maximum use of the PE equipment available to us.
