PE and Sport Premium for Primary Schools

PE and Sport Premium for Primary Schools

The Aims of our Physical Education Curriculum:

• To enable children to develop and explore physical skills with increasing enjoyment, competence, control and coordination.
• To encourage children to work and play with others in a range of group situations. 
• To increase children’s ability to use what they have learnt to evaluate and improve the quality and control of their performance.
• To teach children to recognise and describe how their bodies feel during exercise.
• To enable children to lead healthy, active lives and be physically active for sustained periods of time.
• To encourage participation in competition for developing skills in sportsmanship (for example: celebrating success, being supportive, striving to get better and handling disappointment).

Swimming at St George's

As part of the Sports provision, St George's with support of Active Tameside, takes all Y4 children swimming every week for 26 weeks.  In Y5 and Y6 children who have not met the national curriculum requirement to swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at last 25 metres then engage in top up lessons in the Summer term of both year groups if necessary.  

In 2024/25 there were 18 children in Year 6.

The data for the Year 6 group in 2024/2025 was as follows:

73% met the national curriculum requirement 

68% could use a range of strokes effectively

58% could perform safe self rescue in different water-based situations.
