At Shirley Junior School we provide a huge range of activities to ensure all our children have an active and healthy lifestyle. This includes two hours of curriculum lessons, after school clubs and opportunities to participate in a range of competitions. Children enjoy two PE lessons a week of dance, gymnastics, swimming and games. Lessons cover a whole range of physical activity including, problem-solving, skills development, team development.

We are delighted to announce that Shirley Junior School has achieved the School Games Bronze Mark Award for the 2021/22 academic year.

We look forward to applying once again next year!

Sports Day

In June 2019 sports day was a fabulous event taking place at the Sports Centre for the first time ever.

 

PE and Sport Premium for Primary Schools

Since the employment of a PE Primary Liaison Officer in 2013, many changes have occurred with schools’ PE and some of these are outlined below.

All PE policies, curriculums and assessment procedures have been reviewed, extending provision and offering some new exciting activities to children. Teachers have regular opportunities for ongoing lesson support as well as continued whole staff training.

Pupil participation has increased as children continue to participate in a variety of competitions and celebrations of PE, both in and out of school. Children are invited to become Sports leaders where they have responsibility for supporting planning additional events and activities.

Schools have benefited as a whole through receiving relevant, up-to-date planning and regular INSET opportunities, leading to a more confident and competent workforce.

In addition, the profile of PE has been raised through a sports kite mark which recognises and rewards individual schools work around PE. Again we achieved a bronze award.

Children have been invited to attend additional sessions to further develop PE competencies and this provision has helped extend those particularly talented children and also those children who find some aspects of PE difficult to access.

There have been regular opportunities for newly qualified teachers to extend and improve their knowledge as well as CPD opportunities for all staff.

By working in collaboration with local clubs and organisations children have been offered further opportunities to engage in taster sessions and staff are able to signpost children to relevant clubs wherever necessary.

Staff Training

Staff have had gym and games CPD from a specialist gym and sports coach, where they developed their confidence in delivering both these areas of the PE curriculum.

Southampton Diving Club have worked with our children to highlight any that would make able divers.
