CURRICULUM IMPROVEMENT PLAN for Physical Education SUBECT LEADER V.White

Evaluation of 12/13 Initiatives:
A wide range of sporting opportunities were offered to the children, both during and outside of curriculum time. There was an excellent take up for all extended school sporting activities and children from Year1 through to Year 6 represented school at a wide range of sporting events during the year. The school’s football, netball, cross-country and cricket teams were all highly successful, winning several competitions and trophies and many highly favourable comments were received by staff regarding the children’s attitudes and performances at all of the sporting events undertaken.
Excellent progress was made in swimming by children in KS2, with 100% of Year 6 leavers being able to swim at least 25m. All children in Y6 enjoyed a range of outdoor and adventurous experiences through a residential visit to Carlton Outdoor Education Centre in February 2013.
A range of playground activities helps to ensure that children have healthy and active break times (this will be added to and further developed as funds allow) and a group of Year 6 pupils successfully undertook the role of Playtime Leaders, receiving training from Trinity Catholic College to help them undertake this role.
