Our School PE
Programme
In Jersey, 81% of children and young people do not meet the World Health Organisation’s guidelines for physical activity. This means 81% of our island’s children are not active enough to have a positive impact on their health and mental/physical wellbeing. The World Health Organisation (WHO) guideline is that children should do 60 minutes of moderate or vigorous physical activity every day.
As part of the Inspiring an Active Jersey Strategy set out by the Government of Jersey, Jersey Sport provides opportunities for local schools to access coaching support to deliver the provision of physical activity education. In addition to delivering curriculum dance, Jersey Sport provide experienced and enthusiastic coaches, who are solely funded by the participating schools, to deliver curriculum PE. In 2025/26, Jersey Sport will be delivering PE within five Government schools: St Saviour’s, Grands Vaux, Mont Nicolle, St John’s and Springfield.
We’re proud to be able to support our local schools and provide high quality PE and dance delivery which meets the National Curriculum requirements for children in Foundation stage, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. Through delivery of physical activity education, our objective is to ensure that children and young people have positive experiences of PE in their school environment in order to foster a culture of life-long enjoyment with sport and physical activity. Our team facilitate safe and fun activities, which aim to change sedentary behaviour and disengagement from PE by promoting pathways for children and young people to access community sport outside of the school setting.
