PE

CCSJ believes firmly in providing high-quality physical education.

Every week, every child will have 1 hour of PE (outdoor sports skills) in tennis, basketball, football, athletics, hockey, cricket, or netball. Our qualified PE teacher and the class teacher teach this session.

In addition, each child will have a one-hour dance lesson with our dance teacher. The themes change each term and are based on street dance or modern dance principles.

As part of our curriculum, children in key stage 2 are provided with professional swimming instruction. We believe this enables children to become physically confident in a way that supports their health and fitness.

The swimming lessons are provided at the pool on Blackbird Leys by swimming instructors with a lifeguard in attendance. We make no charge for this.

The children are taught a variety of strokes effectively, such as front crawl and breaststroke.

The swimming lessons aim to teach children how to swim competently and confidently over a distance of at least 25 metre.
