Physical Education and Sport
At Sherwood Primary School, physical education, competitive sport and outdoor learning are given a high profile. We recognise and highly value the benefits of a strong Physical Education curriculum and extra-curricular activity on raising children’s aspirations, self-esteem, emotional and physical wellbeing. Physical Education is also a key ingredient in the battle against childhood obesity and encouraging young people to live active and healthy lives.
According to the UNICEF Convention on the Rights of a Child, all children have the right to play. We believe that Physical Education plays an important role in developing pupils’ enjoyment of games and sport. Following the additional PE and Sports funding provided by the government and allocated to Sherwood Primary School, we are pleased to share our funding action plan with you. The quality and standard of Sport at Sherwood is very high. We have however taken the necessary steps to ensure that developments are sustainable and have planned to use the funding to further develop the leadership of School Sport at all levels at Sherwood.

Alongside the exercises built into our monitoring and evaluation schedule, we build analysis of pupil achievement, staff and pupil questionnaires into our self evaluation to support future needs and therefore target funding to secure good outcomes for all children.
