PE Subject Leader Report

2016/2017

Objectives:

To continue offering at least four hours of sport every week, comprising of at least two hours of quality PE and sport at school.

Teachers will be confident and competent in delivering the highest quality provision.

The school will continue to promote the benefits of leading a healthy and active lifestyle.

In the academic year 2016/2017 we aimed to strengthen and improve provision in a range of ways, with a focus on promoting and giving pupils the opportunity to take part in extra-curricular clubs and activities.

We aimed to continue providing high quality PE in-line with curriculum requirements, ensuring staff received the CPD, training and support required to provide the school with the skills and knowledge in order to continue the sporting legacy created by the 2012 Olympic Games.

Curriculum

PE and sport continued to have a high profile in our school and a wide range of activities delivered across the school engaged and inspired pupils. We fulfilled our commitment of ensuring that pupils received at least two hours per week of high quality PE. Over the year pupils participated in games, athletics, dance, OAA and swimming. A range of different activities/themed weeks where pupils participated in a wide range of activities and taster sessions were organised which also linked very closely to pupils’ spiritual, moral, cultural, social and physical development. During Year 6’s five day residential visit to Ghyll Head in the Lake District, pupils were given the opportunity to participate in many different new and challenging activities, including orienteering, canoeing, rock scrambling and caving. Year 4 visited Abraham Moss Leisure Centre each week throughout the year as part of the school’s goal to ensure all pupils had the opportunity to swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres. In the summer term the annual Healthy Schools Week encouraged participation of all pupils in organised competitive and non-competitive activities. We continued to have strong links with outside organisations to enrich the variety of activitiesprovided, this also offered staff valuable CPD. Coaches from Manchester City, Sale Sharks, Manchester United and The FA Skills Programme taught alongside school staff as part of PE lessons. Talented pupils were signposted to local clubs and encouraged to enter into competitive events to further develop their skills.

Beyond the School Day

The school provided a wide range of extra-curricular clubs for Y1 to Y6 pupils throughout the year,at no cost, delivered by sports coaches, teaching staff and the PE leader. Over the year other clubs were introduced, targeted at specific pupils or year groups, based upon outcome data. Pupils enjoyed the opportunity to participate in a number of sports, such as netball, tag rugby, football, multi-skills, cricket, rounders, athletics, ballet and cross country. These sporting activities took place after school as part of a club, at a level 2 competition or during lunchtimes. Through pupils taking part in these extra-curricular clubs the school was then able to enter a wide range of city-wide competitions over the year which increased participation levels in competitive sport.
