At St Joseph’s we believe physical education is an essential part of every child’s educational development and is, as important as other curriculum subjects.  We strive to deliver high quality, meaningful, enjoyable learning experiences in PE that are accessible to all pupils and foster the physical, moral, social, emotional, cultural and intellectual development of all our pupils. We provide life-long lessons that will promote the children to partake in a healthier and more active lifestyle.

Our infant children have also been active in the school vision and aim for PE and designed an emblem that our school and staff proudly display. (Staff PE kits, school letter footers and displays around school.)
