Physical Education

Physical Education covers the areas of dance, gymnastics, games, swimming and fitness. The children are taught to develop their own physical abilities and skills. We encourage healthy attitude and lifestyle alongside physical activities. 

Children will have opportunity to take part in sporting activities as an extra curricular activity throughout the school year.

All children require their P.E kit to be available in school. The kit is a blue t- shirt and black shorts or black jogging bottoms (especially in the winter). All kit should be labelled with the child's name.​ 

Sports for School update

We have been waiting for all of the sponsor money to be collected, counted and added to our online donations. The total monies raised will be published in the newsletter week beginning 8th July and prizes will be distributed too. Thank you for you patience. 

Sports Day

What a great day the children had taking part in all of the different sporting activities. Thank you to all of the grown-ups that could come and watch and to all of our helpers from St Patrick's High School for making the afternoon run smoothly.

Congratulations to the winning team St Andrew's for collecting the most team points. 

Sports for School

What a great afternoon we had with Antony and Nakita. All of the children had lots of fun! Thank you to Antony for being a great inspiration and sharing your story with us.

I would also like to say a huge thank you for all of your generous sponsor money. We are going to use all of the monies raised to buy new PE equipment. 

Tennis Cluster Competition

Some of our Year 3 children were chosen to compete in a cluster competition, against other schools in our local area. The children represented our school well and thoroughly enjoyed the competition.

GB Athletes who inspire kids

We are excited to announce that on Tuesday 21st May 2024 we will be receiving a visit from the GB Paralympian Antony Cotterill. Antony Cotterill will be leading a sponsored fun fitness circuit for the children to take part in, followed by a motivational speech and a question and answer session. 

The money raised will be used to buy new equipment to help continue to increase the physical activity in our school and to help support GB athletes to inspire the next generation.
