Physical Education
Our PE Intent
At our school, we believe that PE is about more than learning to play sport. It is about developing confident, active and resilient children who understand the importance of looking after their physical and mental wellbeing.
We want every child to enjoy being active, discover activities they love and develop the skills, confidence and positive attitudes they need to lead healthy, active lives.
Our PE and Core Values
Our PE curriculum reflects our school values in everything we do:
Aim High
We encourage children to challenge themselves, try their best and celebrate their progress. We teach children that effort, perseverance and improvement are just as important as achievement.

Learn Together
Children learn to communicate, cooperate and work as part of a team. They learn from one another, celebrate success and support each other when things don't go to plan.
