PE

Let your light shine through movement

St James Primary School believes that Physical Education experienced in a supported and safe environment is essential to ensure children attain optimum physical and emotional development and provides the basis for a healthy lifestyle. We aim to deliver high‑quality teaching and learning opportunities that inspire all children, ensuring PE is fully inclusive and accessible to every pupil regardless of ability, background or need. Our curriculum encourages every child to participate, enjoy success, and develop confidence in physical activity.

Through an engaging and inclusive curriculum, we teach children essential skills to keep them safe, such as swimming and orienteering. We also teach children how to collaborate and co‑operate with others as part of a team, embedding the core, life‑long values of fair play and respect. Ultimately, St James aims to improve not only the fitness, but the social, emotional, and physical wellbeing of all of our children, through the underpinning values that PE promotes, ensuring every child has the opportunity to let their light shine.
