At Roebuck Academy, we believe that physical education and sport play a crucial component in improving our pupils’ physical wellbeing and lifestyles. Being Active is one of our Five Ways in improving and sustaining a positive and well-balance sense of well-being.

We continue to offer a highly effective PE programme and build on the embedded sporting culture in our school through a well planned programme of action to promote participation, progress, achievement and enjoyment.

We are committed to: 

• developing and adding to the PE and sport activities that we already offer.
• making additional and sustained improvements to the quality of PE and sport in our school.
• building capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now will benefit pupils joining the school in future years.
• providing opportunities for a wide variety of sporting opportunities that children would not ordinarily have the  opportunity to participate in. 

At Roebuck Academy, we continue to see improvements in:

• the engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity. 
• the raised profile of PE and Sport across the school, driving whole-school improvement.
• increased confidence, knowledge and skills of staff in teaching PE and sport.
• the broader experiences of a range of sports and activities offered to our pupils.
• increased participation in competitive sport.
