PE

Physical Education

At St Monica's, we believe in the importance of a high-quality physical education and learning about a healthy lifestyle. Each child from Reception to Year 6 receives two hours of physical education a week with our PE teacher Mr Bennett, made up on a mixture of indoor and outdoor activities. At St Monica's, we teach children to take responsibility for their health through developing awareness of creating healthy habits and hobbies.

Swimming

In Year 3 & 4, children receive weekly swimming lessons taught by specialist coaches throughout the school term.  They are taken to the newly refurbished Britannia Leisure Centre near Shoreditch park where they are able to utilise brand new swimming facilities.  

In line with National Curriculum requirements we assess pupils on their ability to:

  • Swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres.
  • Use a range of strokes effectively.
  • Perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.
