At Castle Bromwich Junior School, we believe that Physical Education and sport have a vital role to play in the physical, social, emotional and intellectual development of children. P.E. plays a central role in helping all children to be the best that they can be. Our P.E. curriculum is designed to help children to work towards: - improved fitness - an understanding of the importance of exercise in a healthy lifestyle - raised self-esteem - a desire to improve and better their personal performance - an ability to work within a team and develop leadership skills - experiencing healthy competition; competing with determination; playing fairly; winning, losing and supporting with grace - a lifelong enjoyment of sport and physical activity P.E. also plays a central role in pupils developing the CBJS values of: Accepting, Aspiring and Adapting. We will achieve this through: - a high-quality curriculum including opportunities to develop in: dance, gymnastics, athletics, netball, hockey, tag rugby, tennis, cricket, swimming and outdoor and adventurous activities. - offering and signposting pupils towards a range of extra-curricular opportunities both in school and through community links - providing opportunities for all pupils to compete both individually and for their 'house' team through School Games Level 1 activity - providing opportunities for pupils to represent CBJS at School Games Level 2 activities as well as other local competitions - ensure that pupils have the chance to develop sports leadership skills through our Sports Council - raising the activity levels of all pupils, particularly the least-physically active, through Change4Life clubs.
