PE and Sports Kit

Physical education and school sport has a high profile at Westcroft where pupils access a wide range of sports and activities both in and out of school hours. Our learner swimming pool and four court sized sports hall allows us to deliver high quality PE supported by excellent facilities and resources.

At Westcroft, we aim to develop a child’s physical literacy so they can perform to their potential in a range of physical activities. Pupils across all phases participate in a minimum of two hours of PE, as well as lunchtime activities through SPACE time. After school provision is offered to all pupils and those pupils who uptake this provision are provided with further opportunities to promote physical, social and emotional development.

All children access competition and challenge both in school and with children from other schools. This is done through ‘SMILE’ events, West Midlands Special School Sports Association events, Black Country School Games and friendly fixtures between schools. Westcroft hosts a School Games Organisers who closely works with pupils from Westcroft, the Youth Sports Trust and Wolverhampton PASS (Partnership and School Sport) – providing young people with SEND more opportunities to be physically active.

PE kit – All pupils are expected to wear school PE kit, consisting of the school PE t-shirt, shorts or jogging bottoms and trainers. For swimming lessons, pupils need to bring swimming costumes/shorts and a towel. If they are taking part in Outdoor Education, pupils may need to wear spare clothes.
