Sports


St. Bartholomew's we encourage every child to take part in our inclusive Sports provision and we pride ourselves to 'Do our best and have a go'. We follow our school values and the school sports values which coincide to make us the best sporting personalities in town! Our priority is to enjoy sport and challenge ourselves.

This year sees the beginning of lots of exciting new projects like 'Run a Marathon' and new after-school clubs, this will be more exciting and innovative . The School Sports Organising Crew (SSOC) has been selected and they will be asked to organise and lead intra competitions within school. A weekly meeting will take place and intra competitions will be decided upon based on the requests and skills of individuals and classes across the whole school.

News of new and upcoming events are on the Sports / PE noticeboard in the Year 3/6 corridor - please have a look. Any questions, please see your Sports Crew Leaders.

Sports Premium


At St Bartholomew's CE Primary School we have made a decision to use the majority of our Sports Premium funding to release our PE specialist.  This ensures  children from across the school have the opportunity to attend as many sports festivals or tournaments arranged within the Wyre Forest Sports Partnership.  In addition our  subject leader for Physical Education monitors PE lessons and also supports colleagues with the delivery of our revised PE curriculum.  Along with other colleagues this specialist has introduced Jumping Jax and the 'Run a Mile initiative.
