PE
The 2014 National Curriculum for physical education aims to ensure that all pupils:
• develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activity
• activities are physically active for sustained periods of time
• engage in competitive sports and activities, lead healthy, active lives
At Elworth CE we follow the national curriculum programmes of study for physical education PE National Curriculum. We give the children a broad and balanced curriculum of physical activities including gymnastics, dodgeball, athletics, games and swimming. Many extra-curricular activities are also available. We aim to make sport enjoyable and accessible to all children regardless of ability and gender. We aim to provide two hours of curriculum PE a week. We are using Government funding allocated to schools by employing a Specialist Sports Company, ‘Sports Coaching Northwest’, to supplement/assist with the teaching of curriculum PE.

It is essential that all children wear trainers rather than pumps. An extra pair of socks is also a good idea, especially for any girls wearing tights. Please encourage your child to bring their full PE Kit to every PE lesson. Warm clothing is essential, particularly during our Winter months. Providing your child with a waterproof jacket for PE enables us to take the children outside even during inclement weather.
Swimming
We are so fortunate to have our own pool here at Elworth which is utilised from Easter to October half term.
Swimming Kit Information
Just to remind you that our guidelines for swimming attire are: swimming trunks for boys (no long shorts) and a swimming costume for girls (no bikinis). Swimming goggles should only be worn if you feel the chemicals in the pool adversely affect your child’s eyes. Please be aware that although your child is allowed to wear goggles whilst swimming they may be asked to remove them if they pose a health and safety risk.
Please note that if you wish your child to wear swimming goggles then please download, read and complete the Swimming Goggles Permission Letter below
