PE Funding Impact Statement: PE and Sport
Our Lady's continues to see strong, positive outcomes in pupils’ participation, confidence and attainment in Physical Education and Sport. All pupils access a minimum of two hours of high-quality PE each week, ensuring consistent engagement and the opportunity to develop a broad range of physical, social and teamwork skills. This structured provision has contributed to a culture where physical activity is valued, participation is high, and pupils demonstrate motivation to improve their personal performance.
A wide range of extra-curricular sports clubs further enhances pupils’ opportunities to be active and pursue particular interests. These include traditional team sports alongside specialist activities such as Taekwondo, which has been especially successful in supporting pupils to build discipline, resilience and self-confidence. The breadth of clubs ensures that pupils of all abilities can find an activity they enjoy, contributing to increased overall participation in school sport.
Attainment outcomes in PE remain strong. In 2024–2025, 83% of pupils in Year 6 left achieving age-related expectations in PE, reflecting the school’s commitment to high-quality teaching, inclusive practice and progressive skill development. Swimming continues to be a key priority within the curriculum. 59% of Year 6 pupils can swim 25 metres—meeting the national curriculum requirement—and 86% can perform safe self-rescue, demonstrating pupils’ strong understanding of water safety and confidence in aquatic environments.
Overall, the impact of the school’s PE and sport provision is evident in pupils’ improved physical competence, sustained participation, confidence in trying new activities, and strong attainment outcomes. The school remains committed to further strengthening this provision to ensure that all pupils develop the knowledge, skills and habits that support lifelong health and wellbeing
