Physical Education

PE contributes to the all-round education of students by allowing them to participate in a wide range of physical experiences and, by doing so, develop their sporting skills, physical strength and general well-being. PE also nurtures important life-skills such as cooperation, teamwork and trust.

Links

We have excellent links with our local clubs and students are encouraged to extend their knowledge and skills through participation in them. Outside coaches are often brought into school to strengthen these links.

School Sports Co-ordinator

Our family of cluster primary schools benefit from our role in the School Sports Co-ordination Scheme, and our school based SSCO works hard to increase opportunities and standards of PE in these schools.
