Sports Premium

The Government provides additional funding to schools to improve the provision for PE and Sport in primary schools.

At St Joseph’s Catholic Middle School, we are conscious of the importance of PE in promoting physical and mental health and wellbeing. Through our provision for PE and sport we aim to promote the benefits of physical activity and healthy lifestyles while developing positive habits and attitudes.

We believe that every child should receive high quality PE and sports lessons along with opportunities to experience a wide range of sports and physical activities that they can enjoy and excel at. We aim to provide a wide variety of clubs and experiences for the children to engage everyone in being active.

With our funding we have:

• Hired specialised sports coaches
• Purchased playground equipment to sustain an active playground
• Encouraged more children to take up sports
• Supported and involved the least active children by running after school and holiday clubs
• Run inter- and intra- sport competitions

We are proud of our children and how they compete and play fairly in sport.
