PE & Sport

Welcome to the Physical Education (PE) page for Waverley Junior Academy.

PE is a highly valued and integral part at the heart of our curriculum at Waverley JA, with our own PE specialist - Mr Coleman - delivering a broad and balanced curriculum to all pupils across school.

During their time at Waverley, every pupil will have the opportunity to represent the academy for our sports teams, attend sporting after school clubs, learn key life skills (such as bikeability cycling and swimming proficiency) and represent their house team in our annual sports day. Our first ever sports day was hosted at the English Institute of Sport in April 2024, which was a real highlight for everyone connected to Waverley. This plethora of opportunities on offer promote inclusivity and inspires every pupil in the hope that they will develop a love for physical activity and sport for life.

Take a look at our sporting highlights and achievements in the 2023-2024 academic year. We have enjoyed so many, including Y6 Rotherham Football CHAMPIONS, Y6 Football North of England quarter-finalists and Y4 Basketball South Yorkshire CHAMPIONS!

The ACET Long Term Planning outlines the sports that each year group will take part in and the skills they will learn in our PE lessons:

Pupils are expected to bring full PE kit for their PE lessons. The PE lessons for each class for September 24/25 are posted below:
