P.E. Curriculum
At Copley Junior School, we believe that all children can find enjoyment and satisfaction from taking part in physical activity and P.E. is promoted as an important part of our curriculum.
We offer a wide range of sports within the curriculum and extra-curricular sports clubs are available each day after school. We are a successful sporting school and our cross country, football, gymnastics, swimming, cricket and athletics teams have competed successfully in local, regional and national competitions and tournaments.
Our aims in teaching P.E. are:
- to acquire new, and develop existing, skills and be able to select and apply these in a variety of situations.
- to develop a knowledge and understanding of fitness and health by fostering a positive attitude towards physical activities.
- to develop a feeling of enjoyment and achievement through providing opportunities to express ideas and feelings in a form of non verbal communication.
- to develop positive attitudes to physical endeavour including perseverance, fair play and sporting behaviour and the ability to cope with success and failure.

School Games Award - Bronze Level
The School Games Mark is a Government led awards scheme that aims to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community. In July 2017 we achieved the Bronze School Games Award and we were reaccredited with the award in July 2019. We are close to achieving Silver so, with a few development steps in mind, this is our aim for the next academic year.
