Why we teach PE

PE helps children lead healthy, active lives. It develops confidence, coordination, teamwork and resilience. Physical activity boosts wellbeing and helps children learn the importance of looking after their bodies.

How we teach PE

Children take part in a variety of sports and physical activities such as games, gymnastics, dance and athletics. Skills are taught gradually, and children are encouraged to develop personal bests, work as part of a team and enjoy friendly competition. We emphasise fairness, respect and enjoyment.

What we want children to learn

Children build fitness, coordination and sporting skills. They learn teamwork, perseverance and the value of an active lifestyle.
