Sports News
Well done to all our athletes last year. We took part in and were successful in a number of competitions and sporting events. The children showed great teamwork and sportsmanship; they certainly made me proud!
A special thank you to parents, guardians and carers who have assisted and supported us throughout the year.
I look forward to a wonderful year of PE and Sports this year!

Our PE priorities this year are:
To develop activity at break times further by installing a trim trail
To develop inter and intra sport at school (competitions within school and between other schools)
Continue to develop the role of sports leaders in school
Ensure the PE long term plan has a variety of sports taught with a clear skills progression
SPORTS LEADERS
Look out for our Sports Leaders around school - they can give you advice on how to stay fit and healthy, and are there to listen to your thoughts and ideas on PE and sports in school. For KS1 children, you can find our Sports Leaders leading games on the middle playground on Thursday lunch times.
The Daily Mile
We are a Daily Mile school! Every day we try to spend fifteen minutes running, jogging or walking around the school grounds. This helps us to get our hearts beating and blood pumping, which is good for our bodies AND helps our brains work harder. As well as this... it's lots of fun!
"I think it's a good chance for you to get outside and have a break from learning. Doing exercise keeps us healthy" - Seth Year 6
"I think that the Daily Mile is good because it gets us moving fast" - Albie Year 5
"The Daily Mile is one of the best activities!" - Noel Year 6
We are an active school!
At St Joseph's, we try to keep active as much as possible! We understand the importance of keeping fit and healthy, and so we try to be active for at least one hour a day!
We take part in active lessons that our teachers plan for us, and we complete fun, active videos throughout the day, as well as the Daily Mile!
