Physical Education

We have excellent sports facilities in the school including a swimming pool, gym, 2 playing fields and an all weather area. Our PE curriculum includes gymnastics, dance, games, swimming, athletics and outdoor/adventurous activities. Children usually have 3 formal PE sessions a week as well as numerous opportunities to be physically active during the school day. We have recently been awarded the ‘Advanced Healthy School’s Standard’
