PE
Our aim is for every child to discover the joy of sport, to
experience involvement, achievement, and encouragement in a safe
and controlled environment.
Pupils develop a healthy, balanced view toward life through sport.
They are expected to compete at their best, appreciate the
efforts of others, and co-operate in helping the team to
succeed.
The children are also encouraged to develop an interest and
expertise in many individual sports, such as athletics, swimming,
and tennis.
Physical Education develops the children’s
knowledge, skills, and understanding, so that they can perform with
increasing competence and confidence in a range of physical
activities. These include dance, games, gymnastics, swimming, and
water safety, athletics and outdoor adventure activities. Physical
Education promotes an understanding in children of their bodies in
action. It involves thinking, selecting and applying skills, and
promotes positive attitudes towards a healthy lifestyle.
We provide the opportunity for all children to play at the
best and most appropriate level for themselves. This may be at
inter-house, inter-school, county or national level.
Our recently acquired sports ground aids our facilities to
provide endless opportunities for self-development.
