Sports Premium Report 

 At St Joseph's, we are passionate about sport and we ensure that the Physical Education provision is broad and balanced throughout both Key Stages.  The children have access to 2 hours of high quality Physical Education weekly, following the national curriculum and covering the four main areas of PE: games, dance, gymnastics and athletics. Within PE lessons, there is a focus on the 3 Fundamental Movement Skills; agility, balance and co-ordination.  Year 4 also attend weekly swimming lessons for the whole academic year.  In addition to this, we offer a range of after school sports clubs, including: Dodgeball, Athletics, Multi-skills, Football, Taekwondo, Netball and Cricket.

Being a Leeds Active School and a member of the Leeds North West School Sport Partnership provides the school with opportunities to take part in a variety of inter-school festivals and city wide competitions as part of the Sainsbury’s School Games programme.  As well as this, each class in Key Stage 1 and 2 takes part in a festival at the local Secondary School, Prince Henry’s Grammar School during the academic year.

We believe that Physical Education develops pupils’ physical competence and confidence providing them with opportunities to be creative as individuals, encouraging healthy lifestyles, while supporting their emotional well-being. We were proud to have been awarded Silver for the Leeds Quality Physical Education Award in 2014 and Gold for the School Games Mark in July 2016.

Since 2013, every primary school has been given extra money in their budget to spend exclusively on PE.  The following documents explain how the money has been spent at St. Joseph’s and the impact it has had.
