PE at St. Joseph the Worker

We are a GOLD School Games Award Winner!

Physical activity not only improves health, reduces stress and improves concentration, but also promotes correct physical growth and development. Exercise has a positive influence on academic achievement, emotional stability and interaction with others. Therefore both teachers and children should be aware of its importance.

At St Joseph’s our aim is that each class will receive 2 hours of physical activity per week. At the moment classes are timetabled to have at least one Physical Education session per week. The sessions will contain elements required by the National Curriculum of:

Key Stage 1: Games, Dance and Gymnastics

Key Stage 2: Games, Dance, Gymnastics, Athletics, Outdoor Education and Swimming.
