Physical Education (PE) and Sport

One of the fundamental principles of Physical Education is that we equip students with the right tools and attitudes to be active for life. Our highly qualified specialist PE department introduces students to a multitude of competitive and recreational sports, with the aim of finding every child a sport that they enjoy. With two and a half hours a week of curriculum time and additional lunchtime and after school clubs, we offer a wide range of activities.

Through our curriculum, we aim to develop our student’s communication, social and thinking skills in an active way. Alongside our traditional invasion games of Netball, Hockey, Football and Cricket, which we deliver on our two netball courts and Astro. We also offer OAA (Outdoor Adventurous Activities); taking an annual trip to Dinton Pastures to kayak, climb and stand up paddleboard, allowing our students to develop their teamwork, leadership and problem-solving skills. Our Dance studio provides a space to explore creative ideas, experiment with new forms of self-expression and prepare for productions and our Gymnastics and Dance showcase. Our on-site swimming pool gives our students from Nursery upwards the opportunity to practice these important life skills weekly. We have visiting experts who strengthen and inspire our students learning in tennis. Throughout the Summer Term our students explore athletics events with preparation for our sports days at the end of the academic year.
