Physical Education at St Michael's
Physical Education at St Michael’s encourages every child to develop confidence, resilience and belief in their own potential while promoting values such as respect, teamwork and perseverance. The curriculum is broad, balanced and progressive, following the National Curriculum from Early Years, where children build fundamental movement skills, through Key Stage 1, where they develop coordination and basic game skills, to Key Stage 2, where they apply tactics and refine performance across a wide range of sports. Pupils also take part in swimming and fitness education, helping them develop physical, cognitive and social skills. A variety of inclusive extra-curricular opportunities, including clubs, activities and competitions, ensure all children can participate and experience teamwork and healthy competition. Enriched by sports days, leadership roles and community links, PE at St Michael’s aims to develop happy, healthy and active learners with the confidence and motivation to lead lifelong active lives.

Sporting Success
NFL FLAG
Our first year playing NFL Flag has been nothing short of incredible. We made it all the way to Nationals—and came out as champions! Building on that success, we went on to the Regional tournament at Nottingham University, where we battled hard and reached the semi-finals.
An outstanding effort from a brilliant team of Year 5 and 6 players—full of determination, teamwork, and talent. A season to be proud of and a foundation for even more to come.
