School Games Mark
We’ve got Platinum School Games Mark for 2025-2026
Christ Church Primary School is incredibly proud to have been awarded the School Games Mark Platinum award for 25-26.
The School Games Mark is a government led awards scheme to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition, sport and physical activity across their school and into the community.
Curriculum
Our aim, at Christ Church Primary School, is that all pupils will acquire the self-confidence, knowledge, skills and motivation to equip them for a healthy, active lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport, whether in a competitive sporting capacity or taking part in physical activity for other outcomes such as fitness, fun and friendship. Staff and children understand the benefits of leading an active, healthy lifestyle and this message is promoted through all areas of school life,
The PE curriculum at Christ Church Primary School has been carefully created to ensure children are given a broad and balanced experience of sport and physical activity. Skills are taught and developed in a structured and progressive way within lessons and across year groups and key stages. Units of work are planned to complement the inter school calendar of competitions, thus providing the children with opportunities to apply the skills they have been taught in a festival style or competitive setting. The curriculum is supplemented by a wide range of after school clubs which introduce children to new sports and activities and signpost them to community clubs where they can continue their active journey.
Swimming At Christ Church
All schools must provide swimming in Key stage 2. In particular, pupils should be taught to:
- Swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres
- Use a range of strokes effectively (E.g. front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke)
- Perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations
Christ Church Primary School currently offer swimming lessons for all children in Years 4/5/6. Children are taught by qualified swimming instructors from the local pool who follow guidelines set out by the Local Authority.
