‘Physical education develops student’s physical competence and confidence, and their ability to use these to perform in a range of activities. It provides opportunities for pupils to be creative, competitive and to face up to different challenges as individuals and in groups and teams. It promotes positive attitudes towards active and healthy lifestyles.’
(The British National Curriculum)
Children enjoy being active, while using their creativity and imagination in physical activity. Our curriculum provides a wide range of physical opportunities including, a variety of team sports, games, gymnastics, dance, athletics, outdoor education, swimming and parachute activities.
We are very fortunate to be right next door to the TCFA Football pitch, which we use for our soccer programme. We also use our new artificial grass area in the school playground.
We use the Graceway Sports Centre facilities, next door to the school, for our tennis, basketball, volleball, rounders/baseball and cricket programme.
The National Athletics Stadium is also a short walk away and we use this for athletics and our annual KS2 Sports Day is also held here.
In the summer term our swimming programme visits the Flamingo Park swimming pool, across the road from the school.
