St Joseph's

SPORTS PREMIUM 2017–18

During this period the school has received £16,600 to improve the quality of sport and PE provision at St Joseph’s. Our vision is to create a culture that encourages all our children to be active and have positive attitudes towards physical activity and healthy lifestyles.

The funding will develop a programme which includes high quality physical education as part of the curriculum; competitive school sport opportunities and additional sporting opportunities after school.
We believe high quality physical education and school sport will contribute to a range of outcomes for our children contributing to their physical, mental and social wellbeing.

More specifically the funding has/will be predominantly targeted in the following ways:

• Employing specialist PE teachers or qualified coaches to work alongside teachers in lessons to increase their subject knowledge and confidence.
• Employing a specialist teacher to deliver high quality PE.
• Provide professional development for staff.
• Procure quality-assured professional training for staff to raise their confidence and competence
• Buy into existing local sports networks such as school sport partnerships or community
• Provide a greater variation of sproting activites 
• Purchase resources to support play leaders with their roles at breaktime and lunchtime
