It is really important that we promote competitive support in schools. It is very important that we recognise that has to be underpinned by good quality physical education and by getting people into patterns of exercise. Sebastian Coe
“I really think a champion is defined not by their wins but by how they can recover when they fall.”
– Serena Williams
Brockwell’s achievements in sport are recognised locally in the Active Chesterfield Awards and Derbyshire Awards This is due to the high percentage of children engaging in tournaments, festivals and clubs and the quality and range of physical activity in lesson time. With sports for all including Boccia & New Age Kurling, all children can get involved and develop active, healthy habits. We aim to give EVERY child the physical literacy, emotional and thinking skills to achieve in P.E., Sport and Life.
We use Complete PE. Complete P.E. is an interactive, progressive, Physical Education resource designed to support the implementation of a High Quality Physical Education Curriculum.
We have strong links with the School Sports Partnership, Chesterfield Football Club and local clubs such as the CLTA, Chesterfield Hockey, Athletics and Golf.
Active Playtimes include daily options of track, trim trail, dodgeball, basketball, football, multi-sports and skipping.
P.E. is a vital part of the school’s curriculum to which all our children are entitled. In the school’s curriculum, games, athletics, gymnastics, dance, outdoor and adventurous activities and swimming take place in a context of teaching and learning. In P.E. general
and specific skills are acquired, knowledge and understanding developed and positive
attitudes and personal and social attributes encouraged.
What are the end points, goals for the phase?

Swimming
Learning about water-safety and knowing how to keep yourself safe in and around water is a life-skill and, as such, is recognised and measured in the same ways as other key subjects at Brockwell Junior School. Brockwell is proud to have a swimming teacher with Olympic background delivering swimming lessons as routine.
Swimming lessons take place in year 4 then continue in year 6 at Highfield Hall Primary School. If your child is not meeting the national curriculum requirements in their year six year, he / she will be encouraged to participate in bespoke sessions tailored to the individual during the summer term. All children access open-water-safety workshops and water-safety learning each summer term, prior to the summer break. This is often delivered by swimming coaches and representatives of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution.
94% of pupils within the current 2023/2024 year 6 cohort are meeting the national curriculum requirement to swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres, use a range of strokes effectively and perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.
National Curriculum requirements for swimming and water safety:
-
swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres
-
use a range of strokes effectively
-
perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.
We use school funds for swimming and water safety.
