Physical Education

Physical Education (PE) is taught to encourage our pupils to develop and acquire skills, select and apply these skills appropriately, refine and evaluate their own and other pupils’ performances in the context of health and safety awareness. We cover aspects of gymnastics, dance and movement, swimming, games, fitness and indoor /outdoor athletics. Outdoor and adventurous activities are covered during residential trips and curriculum weeks.  We promote equal opportunities and treat children as individuals with their own abilities, difficulties and attitudes .We have specialist teachers for some of our early years games and for gymnastic and dance across the age range.   In addition to teaching football, netball, hockey, rounders and other outdoor games in lessons, extra-curricular clubs are offered:
