Physical Education
To inspire pupils to discover a lifelong love of sport and exercise
Our PE curriculum intends to allow pupils to:
Experience as many sports as possible to find those which will develop a lifelong love of sport.
Have the opportunity to participate within our school community in a wide range of extracurricular activities.
Develop the skills and aptitudes needed to excel.
Why Learn PE?
A high-quality physical education curriculum inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically demanding activities. It will provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. Opportunities to compete in sport and other activities build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect.

PE is taught as a discrete subject from Year R. We provide additional teaching resources form Year 3 transitioning into specialist PE provision using our full facilities from Year 4.
