Thomas Jolyffe Primary School

Physical Development

Physical development is one of the seven, prime, areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage and is used to develop a child’s movement, handling of objects, understanding of health and levels of self-care. It involves providing opportunities for young children to be active; and to develop their co-ordination, control and movement.

Children will learn the importance of physical activity. 

Thomas Jolyffe Primary School is determined for all pupils to succeed. Since the previous inspection, many changes have been made. The school has prioritised the development of the curriculum to promote high expectations for all pupils. Staff invest in pupils to build positive relationships with them. Personal development is a strength. The school provides opportunities to enrich pupils’ experiences. Pupils value participating in sporting competitions, such as cross country, football and netball. They also take on positions of responsibility, including school councillors and inclusion champions. Pupils value the leadership skills that they are developing. The school has developed an inclusive environment, where all pupils participate in every aspect of school life. Recently, the school has had a new library. The pupils are very proud of it and say, ‘It is a reading wonderland. It is like walking into another world.’ (OFSTED April 2024)
