Physical Education

'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, 1999)

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, swimming and parachute activities.

We are very fortunate to be right next door to the TCFA Football pitch and Graceway Sports Centre, which we use once or twice a week for our sports sessions. Our annual Sports Day is also held here.

In the summer term we visit the Marine Biology centre pool, a ten minute drive away from the school, for swimming.

Soccer has become a growing sport throughout the island. Children have the opportunity to participate in after school soccer coaching and to represent the school by playing in local tournaments, wearing our school soccer kit.

There is also a Saturday morning club run by the Turks and Caicos Football Association that welcomes children from the age of 4 and up. http://www.football.tc/

In line hockey has also become a great hit on the island and many of our children are involved in the newly formed PHL.
