Physical Education
"Intelligence and skills can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong."
John F Kennedy, 35 U.S. President.
In our school the teaching of Physical Education aims to inspire lifelong consideration of personal wellbeing. We want each child’s experience to be positive and motivating. We aim to inspire all children to achieve their potential and participate in a range of physical activities. All children take part in minimum of two hours of high-quality PE and sporting activities each week.
Our school values support the development of rounded individuals who demonstrate excellent sportsmanship. Through the REAL PE scheme, unity, respect and self-belief are all developed by the teaching and practise of fundamental movement skills – agility, balance and co-ordination – and applying these skills to an increasingly wider range of physical activities.
We have a well-balanced programme of sporting activities including opportunities such as fencing, swimming, athletics, gymnastics, dance and outdoor and adventurous pursuits. Our students participate in a range of sporting activities within school, against other schools and with other schools. Throughout the year, we also offer a range of well-attended after-school clubs and activities including netball, football, running club and rounders. Such opportunities enable pupils to develop personal and social skills as well as preparing them for leisure activities in adult life.
