PE is given high priority in the school. As well as its contribution to providing a healthy lifestyle, it develops physical skills and gives opportunity for leadership, co-operation and teamwork.
Our programme includes gymnastics, games, athletics and dance. Swimming is started in the Spring Term of Year 3, and is continued for a year. Year 5 have another term of swimming and opportunity to earn their cycling proficiency. Outdoor adventure activities are carried out in Years 4-6 when pupils attend a residential at Kilve Court, Somerset and Mill on the Brue, nr Bruton, Somerset.
There are also opportunities for pupils to participate in dance or judo before school and rugby, football and gym after school.
Children should learn to become good team members; they should learn how to win and how to lose gracefully. This can only be achieved by regular participation in competitive situations.
Sport gives them these opportunities. Our football, netball, rugby and swimming teams compete with other schools, and we hold a Sports Day every summer.
