Physical Education

At St Bartholomew’s all children have access to 2 hours of Physical Education a week. Each class is allocated one hour lesson in the MUGA and 1 hour in the hall. We are currently using GetSet4PE scheme which has provided staff with lots of new ideas and a variety of different sports for the children learn.

We continue to update our sports equipment to ensure each child has the correct equipment for the lesson and to ensure fun, engaging lessons. We provide equipment and have an outside gym for break and lunch times to promote physical activity. The school has bought into Leeds Well School partnership which gives us access to lots of different sporting events which are aimed at all abilities. The Leeds well school partnership also offers CPD opportunities to enable the professional development of our own staff. We also invest in sports coaches who deliver lessons and provide daily extra-curricular activities. 

We are committed to providing enrichment opportunities and take all of year 3 and 4 ice-skating as well as year 5 and 6 mountain biking.
