Physical Education and Sports at JPS

Physical Education and Sports are central to the educational programme at GEMS Jumeirah Primary School. We seek to educate the whole child, and Physical Education forms an integral part of the whole school curriculum. It allows students to develop physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. They learn to work as part of a team, to recognise the abilities of others and to have an enjoyable learning experience. Physical Education at GEMS JPS aims to help children to:
 
  •  Develop confidence and ability in a range of physical skills and activities in an exciting, safe and enjoyable environment
 
  •  Learn to co-operate and work with others in group and team situations
 
  • Gain an understanding of the role that Physical Education has on their health, well-being and lifestyle
 
  • Develop an understanding of fair play and to accept winning and defeat with equal dignity
 
  • Promote sports and activity as a healthy and enjoyable past time and encourage participation in physical activity outside of school
 
The Physical Education department is very well resourced and the school’s facilities include a shaded 25 - metre swimming pool and an infant learning pool, an astro-turf all weather pitch, tennis and netball courts, a large indoor gymnasium and a large additional indoor sports hall.
 
  
 
 
The Physical Education Department comprises of the highly qualified staff:
 
  •  Mr Beasant - Head of PE Department 
  •  Mr Bell - PE and Head of Photography
  •  Mrs Robinson - Head of Girls’ PE 
  •  Mr Gower- Head of Boys’ PE
  •  Miss Murphy- PE
  •  Ms Stevenson - PE
  •  Mrs Barr - PE Assistant
  •  Mrs Pieterse - PE Assistant
 
Physical Education fits well into the whole structure of sport at GEMS JPS, providing foundations and confidence for children to pursue their chosen sports through the extensive After-School Activities (ASA) Programme. There is also an opportunity for children to experience the challenges of competition, by participating in sporting fixtures with other schools throughout the region.
