P.E. and Sport 

P.E. and Sport is very important at Hermitage, and we are lucky to have a number of dedicated teachers that teach P.E. from Reception through to Year 6.

We offer a wide variety of sporting clubs and regularly take part in weekly football and netball matches against other schools.

Swimming

Swimming is an important skill and can encourage a healthy and active lifestyle.

In accordance with the National Curriculum, schools must provide swimming instruction either in Key Stage 1 or Key Stage 2.  The programme of study for P.E. sets out the expectation that pupils should be taught to:

  • Swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres

  • Use a range of strokes effectively - for example, front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke.

  • Perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.

Percentage of children who swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres 35.6%
Percentage of children who can use a range of strokes effectively - for example: front crawl,  backstroke and breaststroke. 30.3%
Percentage of children who can perform safe  self-rescue in different water-based situations. 13.4%
