What can a primary PE teacher expect in Peterborough?
Many Peterborough primary schools use their PE and Sport Premium funding to employ specialist PE teachers or coaches. Specialists teach PE across the school, run clubs and help class teachers develop their own PE teaching.
The primary PE curriculum covers games, gymnastics, dance, athletics, outdoor and adventurous activities and swimming. By the end of KS2, children should be able to swim at least 25 metres, so swimming lessons are an important part of the year for many schools.
Peterborough has a lively school sports calendar, with inter-school competitions and festivals throughout the year. Teachers who can organise teams, events and sports days are highly valued.

- Plan and teach PE lessons from EYFS to Year 6
- Run after-school and lunchtime sports clubs
