Health & Fitness


Our objective
To provide a range of opportunities for Key Stage 2 pupils and their families to get involved in PE and sporting events and competitions. To help pupils to settle into secondary school more effectively.

What we did
Through the School Sports Partnership, we provided a range of opportunities for Key Stage 2 pupils and their families to participate in events, competitions and lessons. In addition, Saturday school s, evening and holiday programmes were set up in order to involve families in healthy lifestyles. We also wanted to increase levels of enjoyment and fitness of pupils and make them familiar with a secondary school setting before they transfer into Y7.

How well it worked
The programme was very popular (and oversubscribed), and definitely helped pupils to settle into secondary school more effectively as they were familiar with the surroundings and felt confident about fitting in. It also meant that many pupils were more ready to tackle the challenges of a new school and unfamiliar regime.

Benefits we see
Pupils show increased confidence and self-esteem as a result of knowing the teachers and the school. Parents are more confident and comfortable about approaching the school because of their involvement with the Family Fitness and Well-being programme.
