1) Healthy Active Lifestyles

We have Healthy Eating sessions delivered by a qualified, experienced Teacher. Increasing the activity of the children in school, during school hours and in after school clubs. Sports Leaders have been selected from Y5 to assist with delivering sports activities to children in school during break times. The children wear their Sports Leaders bibs and caps with pride and have recently completed their Sports Leaders Training.

2) Competitive School Sport

School Competitions and Extended School Clubs help prepare the children for competitions. Our recent competitions have included Hockey, Football and Cross Country.

Our children have been enjoying working with Danny Fowler and his coaches. They work across all year groups and support the children to develop fundamental skills, provide enrichment opportunities and help to raise academic standards with all our pupils.

3) Physical Education

This includes education through physical activity, to improve the skills of teachers through their Continuing Professional Development and inviting trained, experienced coaches to work with the children.
