Since 2013, the government has allocated all schools in England a sum of money to improve and develop PE/sport and the health of all children.  The document below publishes details of how Stocksbridge Junior School spends this funding and the intended effect it has had on pupils’ PE and sport participation.

Swimming lessons

Our Year 4 children participate in a blocks of weekly swimming lessons at Stocksbridge Community Leisure Centre throughout the year. We have recently collaborated with Malin Bridge Primary School to provide high quality swimming lessons and improve our previous swimming results.  Our teachers, along with Malin Bridge staff deliver swimming lessons to our children and assess their competency in the water against the national curriculum objectives for swimming and water safety.
