A positive experience of sport and physical activity at a young age can build a lifetime habit of participation and is central to meeting the government’s ambitions for a world-class education system.
Physical activity has numerous benefits for children and young people’s physical health, as well as their mental wellbeing (increasing self-esteem and emotional wellbeing and lowering anxiety and depression), and children who are physically active are happier, more resilient and more trusting of their peers.
Ensuring that pupils have access to sufficient daily activity can also have wider benefits for pupils and schools, improving behaviour as well as enhancing academic achievement.
The school is proud that our excellence in P.E. and other sporting activities has been recognized since 2008 and continuously since then. We currently hold the Gold School Games Mark award. This is a nationally recognized award. P.E. dance and games are taught in the Rising Stars scheme of work which includes, dance, athletics, ball skills, striking and fielding, gymnastics and fitness circuits. Weekly swimming lessons are provided for children from Year 1 to Year 6. We also receive specialised coaching from outside agencies like Limitless Dance, Yo Kids, Barrow Raiders, Movin’ Monkeez and Gary Weatherburn for tennis.
The wearing of any form of jewellery during physical activities is not permitted.
