Active School Flag

All classes are taught 6 PE strands per year, with the Land PAWS programme used to teach Aquatics. We begin the year with Games, moving to Dance and Gymnastics during the Winter months, before completing Athletics and Outdoor and Adventure Games when the weather improves in the Spring.

 

PE is a collaborative effort in our school. Planning is facilitated during staff meetings and Croke Park hours. Teachers attend CPD courses based on personal PE interests or courses which they feel would improve the delivery of PE in their classroom. All teachers are familiar with, and use, current PE programmes, including Move Well, Move Often. Four fundamental skills are highlighted for development. Teachers have also completed the series of workshops based on the same programme.

 

Prior to Covid restrictions, the school availed of the expertise and facilities of local organisations and clubs in the delivery of PE. We have had links with Pallasgreen GAA, Knockane GAA, Cumann na mBunscoil and more.
