PE and Sport Premium Funding
At St Jerome's, providing a varied and rich sports curriculum for our children is a high priority. Pupils are active at playtimes and during P.E. lessons which are of a high standard. Pupil participation in sport outside school is high and this is evidenced in the number of pupils attending local clubs in gymnastics, swimming, hockey, cricket, tennis, football, Judo, Tae-Kwondo, Cycling, horse-riding, golf, tennis, athletics, rugby and dance.
Staff participate in coached sessions during PE lessons in order to develop their skills and knowledge.
Children in Y3, 4, and 5 are given a term per year to participate in swimming lessons.
The school particpates in all the inter-school tournaments and competitions that are available and we compete to a good standard. Most notably, we were North-West Dodgeball champions in 2024, something which we are very proud of!
We are also a Gold Standard Bike It School.
Sustainability:
Staff have good skills in relation to coaching as a result of training and participation in the coached sessions.
The school has a good range of high quality resources and positive relationships with local sports clubs and schools.
Parents are supportive of the school's involvement in sports programmes and competitions.
The school has maintained this level of activity and participation for many years and prior to the PE sports grant.
