Physical Education

Through the PE curriculum we ensure that all children are physically active for sustained periods of time. We implement the National Curriculum through both knowledge and skill based activities and promote a healthy and active lifestyle. Children are given the opportunity to engage in competitive sports and activities both inter and intra schools which builds character and helps to embed our Christian Values.
