At Catshill Middle School, we believe PE is much more than just taking part in sport — it’s about helping every child enjoy being active, feel confident in their abilities, and understand the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. Our lessons give pupils the chance to build skills, confidence, and motivation across a range of sports and physical activities, whatever their starting point.

Our carefully designed curriculum builds on what pupils learn at first school and prepares them for the next stage of their education. As they move through Catshill Middle, pupils develop the knowledge, skills, and understanding they’ll need to succeed in PE at high school and beyond — whether they continue to study GCSE PE, pursue vocational sport qualifications, or even choose sport as a career.

The PE curriculum promotes teamwork, resilience, and personal success within a fun and supportive environment. Beyond lessons, pupils can take part in a variety of extracurricular clubs and activities, encouraging them to stay active, try new things, and develop lifelong interests.

Through PE at Catshill Middle School, pupils will:

• Gain the skills to participate confidently in a broad range of physical activities.

• Develop the confidence, teamwork, and emotional skills needed to succeed in sport and in life.

• Understand the value of PE and feel motivated to stay active and healthy.

• Be well-prepared for high school PE and inspired to consider future opportunities in sport.

• Build the habits and confidence needed to lead a healthy, active lifestyle for life.

At Catshill Middle School, we aim to inspire every child to discover the joy of movement, the power of teamwork, and a lifelong love of sport and wellbeing.
