At St. Peter’s Primary School, our Physical Education (PE) curriculum is designed to develop children’s love of physical activity and staying active. Our aim is that all pupils will leave St. Peter's Primary physically literate and with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy, active lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport. We nurture a culture where children enjoy playing as part of a team, improving their communication, problem-solving and sportsperson-ship, and understanding that taking part can be as important and valuable as winning. Our broad, balanced and carefully sequenced curriculum aims to provide our children with the opportunity to build on their experiences in order to achieve their goals.
Here at St. Peter's, the teachers and teaching assistants offer after-school clubs. See below:
- Hockey (Friday with Mr Mason)
Clubs ran by external providers:
- Elm's football KS2
- Pro Touch multi-sports (free)
- Reception and KS1 Pro Touch multi-sports (free)
- Girls football (free)
- Judo (Touchpoint Judo after school on Wednesday)
The National Curriculum states that all schools must provide swimming instruction either in key stage 1 or key stage 2. In particular, pupils should be taught to swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres. This academic year (25/26), we are providing swimming lessons for children in Year 5 These children are attending swimming lessons at Moberly Sports Centre on a Friday afternoon. Next April, we will be providing lessons for Year 4 pupils.
Our PE Curriculum is high quality, well thought-out and is planned to demonstrate progression across the different year groups. Within lessons, there are opportunities for formative assessment that is ongoing throughout each lesson. Teacher use this assessment to judge the progress of pupils which enables the teacher to make flexible adaptations to their planned teaching. We help motivate children to participate in a variety of sports through high-quality teaching that is engaging, fun and challenging. From our lessons, our children learn to take responsibility for their own health and fitness, problem-solve, and work as part of a team dealing with any conflicts and disagreements which may arise within their teams or with the opposition. St. Peter's children love sport and physical activity and highly value their PE lessons here at school. We are very proud of the progress they make throughout the year and their enthusiasm to take part in workshops and competitions both at school, on trips and outside of school. We believe all St. Peter's pupils have the potential to grow up to live happy and healthy lives utilising the skills and knowledge acquired through PE.
At St. Peter's, we use the scheme, Get Set 4 Education.
Get Set 4 Education has a specific PE scheme designed for all primary ages. Get Set is committed to offering high-quality and tools and most importantly, fun and engaging lessons which will help inspire children to want to be active and get involved in sports both in and outside of school.

BECOMING A PARK RUN SCHOOL
We are very excited to announce that St Peter’s will be becoming a Parkrun School!
Junior park runs take place every Sunday at 9:00 am at Paddington Recreational Ground, Randolph Avenue, London, W9 1PD. These free, family-friendly events are a wonderful way for children to stay active, build confidence and it encourages them to set personal goals.
To launch this exciting initiative, we will be holding our first whole-school Parkrun on Sunday 16th November. Our Headteacher, Mrs Ducros, will be there to cheer everyone on!
After this launch event, families are welcome to attend as often as they wish. It would be fantastic to see as many of our pupils as possible representing St Peter’s each week and getting fit together!
We hope to see many of you there, running, walking or simply supporting from the side-lines.
Here are details of the event:
