WQ.44/2024
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR CHILDREN AND EDUCATION BY DEPUTY L.K.F. STEPHENSON OF ST. MARY, ST. OUEN AND ST. PETER QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 19TH FEBRUARY 2024
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 26TH FEBRUARY 2024
Question
“Will the Minister advise how many dedicated PE teachers are currently employed in schools in Jersey, broken down by primary and secondary schools; and provide details of which schools, if any, are currently without any dedicated PE teachers?”
Answer
Primary Schools
All primary teachers are trained to cover the breadth of the curriculum, including PE. The default is for the class teacher to teach their class’ PE lessons.
As headteachers decide the actual staffing and curriculum in their schools, some elect to have a teacher who delivers all PE and whose work allows, for example, the class teacher to take their PPA (Planning, Preparation and Assessment) time when the class do PE.
There are 13 teachers in Primary Schooled dedicated to the delivery of PE in this way.
Secondary Schools
PE is a specialist subject in Secondary, for all students, as well as for those who chose to do this to GCSE. There are 39 PE teachers in our schools and colleges (full and part time).
Special School
Mont à l’Abbé has 1 dedicated PE teacher.
Further/Higher Education
Highlands College has 8 specialist PE teachers who also deliver the degree courses in Sports Coaching and Development.
