SPORT AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION
It is the policy of the school that all children will be encouraged to: -
- be physically active and find enjoyment in physical activity
- find a lasting sense of purpose, achievement and fulfilment in physical activity
- develop physical skills, habits and interest 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
- learn how physical exercise affects the body
- understand the need for safe practice in physical activities and know how to achieve this
In addition to a full programme of curriculum PE, the school takes full advantage of the coaching schemes offered by several major sports, including Soccer, Cricket, Short Tennis, Lacrosse, Rugby League and Basketball. The schemes bring local professional coaches into school to work with groups of children. Children are encouraged to join local clubs to develop skills that have been initiated in school.
