Physical Education
In our school, the teaching of Physical Education aims to inspire a life long consideration of personal well being. We believe that encouraging our pupils to lead active and healthy lives is a crucial part of our role as a school. Our high-quality curriculum, delivered by both a specialist sports coach and teachers, ensures that pupils have the opportunity to participate, succeed and excel in a broad range of physical activities and learn essential skills in a purposeful context. These skills are developed further in a range of co-operative and competitive situations both within school and through festivals as part of the Small School Sports Partnership.
All children take part in a minimum of two hours of high-quality PE and sporting activities each week. A well-balanced programme of sporting activities is provided for the children that includes opportunities for expressive and creative movement through dance, as well as gymnastics, swimming, athletics, games, and outdoor and adventurous pursuits. Learning through co-operative and competitive activities helps to promote an understanding of inter-personal relationships. Physical Education is enriched through a wide range of well-attended after-school clubs and activities including football, netball and rugby. Such opportunities enable pupils to develop personal and social skills as well as preparing them for leisure activities in adult life.
