PE and Sports Vision 

Our aim at Westroyd is to ensure that all of our pupils have access to high quality PE lessons that are fun, active and engaging.  We deliver our PE curriculum in partnership with coaches and specialist teachers as well as enhancing the provision with residentials, activity days and 'Be Healthy Week' activity sessions. We aim to develop every child's basic skills in all areas of the PE curriculum, as well as inspiring them to lead an active lifestyle which supports a positive mental wellbeing.  

We strive to provide opportunities for all pupils to experience a wide range of activities both in and out of school through our local partnerships.  Our inclusive approach, ensures that all children are supported to access PE and Sporting Activities both in and out of school by attending adapted events or targeting subsidised support.  

We provide opportunities for the children to build up their experience and confidence to participate in healthy competition. These experiences ensure that children build up personal skills such as communication skills, team work and resilience.  

Due to school closure over the past few years, many of our children have missed opportunities in PE and Sports. Due to this, we have been mindful of the competition opportunities for our children. We have prioritised the 'have a go' events with friendly competition over the more competative events.  This is to ensure that our children can  build up their confidence and not be 'put off' taking part in sporting competitions. We do this be arranging friendly tournaments with local schools as well as attending events through our local partnerships. 

We receive a Government PE and Sports Grant which supports us to deliver the PE curriculum as well as provide opportunities for pupils to become active. Please see the link below which will give you more information on the grant and our action plan which outlines key priorities and an overview of how the money is being spent.  

We are proud that Westroyd has the School Sports Gold Award. 

The School Sports Gold Award is a national initiative designed to encourage schools to continue to improve the quality and quantity of physical education (PE) and school sport opportunities. It is awarded for achieving excellence in physical education in school sport.
