All pupils at St Michael’s benefit from high quality sports provision. We employ a special sports coach and have specialist teachers on our staff.
We believe that being active benefits our children so as well as our PE lessons, all children enjoy ‘Daily 10’ which is 10 minutes of intense physical activity to boost fitness levels.
At lunch times we have a specialist play leader who ensures children have opportunities to be active. This includes making good use of our outdoor gym and large school field.
We aim for all our children to learn to swim during their time in school. This means that all our Year 3 children have a weekly swimming lesson at Oak Park. For some children, these lessons enable them to learn to swim for the first time, whilst other children achieve distance badges of up to 1000 metres.
Our use of our Sports Premium Grant is detailed below.
