Sport

Physical Education is taught by specialist teachers. The school has a full time swimming pool manager (teaching), a member of the teaching staff responsible for football coaching and cricket/rounders and a visiting part-time football coach. All the groups are of mixed ability with boys and girls taught together in all curricular activity. We adapt PE provision to each child's needs. Pupils with particular ability and flair for PE are extended through the use of more advanced techniques and extra curricular activities.

We wish our girls and boys to:

  • be physically active and find enjoyment in physical activity
  • find a lasting sense of purpose, achievement, and fulfilment in physical activity at their own level
  • develop an understanding and appreciation of physical activities
  • develop physical skills, habits, and interests that will promote a healthy lifestyle and good posture
  • develop positive attitudes to physical endeavour, including perseverance, fair play and sporting behaviour, and the ability to cope with success and failure
