Children take part in PE lessons every week following the full National Curriculum.
PE is taught by a qualified PE instructor. During the first part of each of these lessons, children are taught a specific skill (e.g. football dribbling). During the second part of this lesson a competitive game is played where this skill might be practised (e.g. football). These longer PE lessons really get the children active and promote fitness.
We provide rich and varied learning experiences so that pupils develop competency, skills and knowledge in a broad range of physical activities and are inspired to succeed and excel in competitive sport as well as other physically demanding activities. All pupils learn to become physically confident and consciously healthy in ways that support and inspire their overall health and fitness.
We have a competitive Sports Day annually, which is held at a local park. We run different sports based clubs termly, e.g. gymnastics, multi-skills and football clubs which are open to all children. We also have boys and girls teams who compete in borough inter-school competitive sports events. We run an invitation only PE club for those children who are not confident in PE sessions in order to help them to increase in confidence.
We want all our children to be able to swim at least 25 metres comfortably by the time they leave our school. In order to achieve this, one year group has weekly swimming lessons at the local swimming pool for the whole of the academic year.
