Implementation

Each week, children across the school are taught two hours of physical education by our in house specialist sports coach. Across they year, children learn a variety of skills and the rules of sporting games such as net games i.e basketball, netball and football alongside dance and gymnastics. In the summer term, children focus on fitness and athletics as well as games such as rounders and cricket.

Each year group has a different key skill focus which allows pupils to build on and develop their sporting skills year on year as they progress through the school.

Children also have the opportunity to learn how to swim with access to the London Aquatics Centre in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

Year 6 Swimming Ability

Each year, our Year 6 pupils take part in a two week block of swimming lessons at the Olympic Pool in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

These lessons take place in the summer term, after the children have completed their SATs tests.

The information below is based on the outcomes of the 2020-2021 cohorts results:

• From this cohort of pupils, 53% of the children were able to swim at least 25 meters unaided by the end of their block of lessons.
• From this cohort of pupils 15 were able to use a range of strokes effectively.
• From this cohort of pupils 15 were able to perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.
