Physical Activity, PE and Sport

At Carterknowle Junior School we have created a culture where physical development is given equal importance with academic development. We know that high quality PE, School Sport and Physical Activity are essential in preparing children and young people to live healthy lives. Supporting pupils to be more active in PE, Schools Sport and Physical Activity will improve our children’s mental health, physical health and improve their academic attainment and achievement.

We do this through our planned PE lessons from our PE curriculum, by taking part in various sporting events and activities through the year and by encouraging our children to be physically active. We are especially successful at encouraging active travel and proudly hold the gold travel award. Children particularly enjoy our outdoor and adventurous trips and activities in the Peak District.

The details of how we have spent and also intend to spend our sports premium funding are on the documents which can be downloaded from this page.
