P.E
We believe our PE curriculum should inspire our children to succeed and excel in sport and other physically-demanding activities. We aim to provide opportunities for children to become physically confident in a way that supports their health and fitness. We aim to also design opportunities for our children to compete in sport and other activities that build character, grit, resilience, grace and help embed values of fairness, respect and good sportsmanship.
