• PE Provision at Our Lady Immaculate
  At Our Lady Immaculate, we are committed to delivering a high-quality PE curriculum that fosters a love for physical activity, develops key skills, and promotes a healthy lifestyle. By the end of each key stage, pupils are expected to confidently apply their knowledge and skills in a range of physical activities, as outlined in the national curriculum.
  Our curriculum includes a diverse range of sports and activities, such as invasion games, net games, fielding games, dance, gymnastics, swimming, and outdoor adventures. PE lessons are led by our skilled teaching staff, who are trained to deliver high-quality instruction using specialist programmes and resources.
  Enhancing PE Through Expert-Led Programmes and Partnerships
  To further enrich our PE provision, we invest in expert-led initiatives and specialist training through our PE premium funding. These include:
  • Get Set 4 Education
    Our school has fully adopted the Get Set 4 Education programme, a high-quality PE scheme designed to elevate the standard of physical education. All staff are extensively trained in this scheme, ensuring that PE lessons are engaging, well-structured, and consistently delivered at an exceptional level.
  • Full of Beans – Active Lunchtimes
    We have partnered with Full of Beans to create an active and engaging lunchtime environment. This initiative not only encourages children to stay active during breaks but also helps develop their sporting skills, confidence, and teamwork. Through structured activities, pupils gain valuable experience that enhances their ability to compete at a high level when representing our school in sporting events. Most importantly, it promotes a fun, energetic, and healthy approach to lunchtime.
  • Liverpool School Sports Partnership (LSSP) – Silver Package
    Our partnership with LSSP provides access to a specialist sports coach for one afternoon per week. All pupils benefit from high-quality coaching throughout the year, and a targeted after-school club is also available. The package offers opportunities to participate in a variety of sports competitions, catering to all abilities, including SEND pupils and those developing fundamental physical literacy.
  • Swimming Provision
    Swimming lessons are delivered in collaboration with School Improvement Liverpool at Ellergreen Swimming Centre. Pupils receive expert instruction in swimming techniques and essential water safety skills, with a focus on achieving the national curriculum goal of swimming at least 25 metres by the end of Key Stage 2. To support this, additional ‘top-up’ swimming sessions are provided in the summer term, ensuring that as many pupils as possible reach this milestone.
  Extracurricular Opportunities and Competitive Sports
  Beyond curriculum PE, we offer a range of extracurricular sports clubs led by our dedicated and highly skilled staff. These include:
  • Dodgeball Club
  • Dance Club
  • Football Club
  • KS1 Ball Skills Club
  These clubs provide pupils with additional opportunities to develop their skills, compete in inter-school competitions, and represent Our Lady Immaculate with pride. Our Dance Club also performs at the LEAP Festival, showcasing their talents on a wider stage.
  Through our carefully structured curriculum, specialist coaching, and extracurricular opportunities, we ensure that every child has the chance to develop their physical abilities, build confidence, and embrace a lifelong passion for sport and well-being.
