Children in our Nursery and Reception classes have a mix of Physical Development through timetabled lessons and provision within their learning environment. All pupils in KS1 and KS2 have two hours of P.E. timetabled each week to cover the main areas of the curriculum: gymnastics, dance, games, swimming, athletics and outdoor and adventurous activities. Swimming is offered pupils in Key Stage 2, with lessons being provided by qualified swimming instructors.

During their PE sessions the children are encouraged to set challenges for themselves and to improve their own performance. Fun, enjoyment, confidence, self-esteem and team work skills are at the forefront of PE lessons. A healthy and active lifestyle is promoted. Young children are supported to develop the fundamental skills such as aiming and throwing, balance, co-ordination, control and movement. In KS2 pupils are able to further develop these fundamental skills and to apply them in a range of games and competition.

Extra-curricular and lunchtime P.E. opportunities are on offer to pupils of all ages – some provided by staff volunteers and some by outside agencies/companies. Older pupils compete in inter-school tournaments, leagues and competitions.

Intra-school competitions happen every half term, where pupils compete against each other in their school teams.
