The National Curriculum for P.E. states:
Pupils should continue to apply and develop a broader range of skills, learning how to apply them in different ways and to link them to make actions and sequences of movement. They should enjoy communicating, collaborating and competing with each other. They should develop an
- use running, jumping, throwing and catching in isolation and in combination
- play competitive games, for example, badminton, basketball, cricket, football, hockey and netball, rounders and tennis and apply basic principles for attacking and defending.
- develop flexibility, strength, technique, control and balance for example, through athletics and gymnastics
- perform dances using a range of movement patterns
- take part in outdoor and adventurous activity challenges both individually and within a team
- compare their performances with previous ones and demonstrate improvement to achieve their personal best."
Physical education - Key stages 1 and 2 - Swimming and water safety: All schools must provide swimming instruction either in key stage 1 or key stage 2. In particular, pupils should be taught to:
- swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres
- use a range of strokes effectively [for example, front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke]
- perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.
We are continually reviewing PE at St John's to ensure that our pupils get a rich curriculum of different sports and activities and that they are enriched and supported through a range of After School Club and opportunities for children to compete in a range of sporting competitions, tournaments and events.
All children receive at least 2 hours of PE per week, which is timetabled with either their class teacher or our Sports Coach. During PE lessons at St John's we aim to expose children to a wide range of different sports and physical activities, including:
- Basketball
- Athletics both indoor and outdoor.
- Gymnastics
- Football
- Dance
- Hockey
- Kwik-Cricket
- Tag rugby
- Swimming and water safety

School Games Award
We are delighted to announce that we have achieved the School Games GOLD Mark Award for the 2018/19 academic year.
The School Games Mark is a Government led award scheme launched in 2012 facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success.
We are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of school sport, including our Sports Leaders. We also need to give thanks to our Sports Coach who made our competitions possible.
To achieve the Gold Award the school has to offer pupils a wide range of sporting opportunities, from two hours of physical education each week to making sure that we fulfil criteria in the areas of participation, competition, workforce and clubs. We are pleased that the hard work of everyone at our school has been recognised and rewarded this year.
We look forward to applying once again in 2019/20!
Deepcar St John's – PE curriculum 2019 / 2020
Across the school, in PE lessons, children are completing the Bleep test. In the test, children run from one line to another before a timed bleep. As the test continues, the time between each bleep gets shorter. Once they can no longer beat the bleep, the test is over and the number of laps is recorded. The Bleep test is a way of gauging children's cardiovascular endurance, an important component of overall physical fitness.The results from this test and others are recorded at the start of each year so that we can monitor physical fitness levels of our children.
