St Bede’s Catholic Primary School is allocated additional, ring-fenced funding, with the aim of improving the provision of PE and sport.
All pupils leaving St Bede’s will be physically literate and with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.
Our objective is to achieve self-sustaining improvement in the quality of PE and sport. Our indicators of such improvement include:
**The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – kick-starting healthy active lifestyles
**The profile of PE and sport being raised across the school as a tool for whole school improvement
**Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport
**Broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils
**Increased participation in competitive sport
