Physical Education is an essential element of the National Curriculum concerned with the development of physical skills, knowledge and understanding in:  athletics, creative movement and dance, gymnastics, games, athletics, outdoor and adventurous activity and swimming in Years 2/3. Physical Education contributes to the overall education of the children in our care by developing awareness and attitudes towards the benefits that physical activity has on health and well being.

Participation

Physical Education is an integral part of the school curriculum and all children are expected to participate unless there is a verified medical reason for not doing so.
