In St Edward’s Primary School we have a passion for PE and Sports. Our children are offered a breadth of experiences in PE. They have opportunities to participate in activities such as games, dance, gymnastics and athletics. Every child is included in physical education and they are encouraged to be the best that they can be.
Children learn about Physical Education in a variety of ways through Maths, Science, Literacy and other subjects. Our children understand that PE is not a stand-alone lesson but that they can be learning about Physical Education in the classroom indoors and in the outdoor environment. In St Edward’s we promote the values of respect, friendship, courage, equality and inspiration giving the children knowledge, skills and motivation to establish and maintain a healthy lifestyle and enjoyment of physical activity and sport.
We are committed to ensure that every child has:
- A sense of well-being.
- A stronger sense of self-esteem.
- Their co-ordination improves along with their rhythm and timing.
- They show improved concentration and application to tasks.
- Educate children to improve health and well being.
- Have fun!
