Alongside discrete PE lessons and organised sport, we recognise that children benefit from being active throughout the day and we are committed to encouraging all children to develop a life-long enjoyment of physical activity.

In order to achieve this we have a range of initiatives:

• Our outdoor environment, playgrounds, field, trim trail and woodland offer play opportunities at break and lunchtimes
• Every child participates in an outdoor learning session at least once a week
• Each class undertakes a fun physical improvement challenge each half term
• We hold Get Active Days at the end of each summer term to encourage children to try new physical activities and healthy eating options over the summer holidays
• UKS2 children attend residentials at outdoor learning centres each year.

We are currently developing the Outdoor Learning opportunities we offer to our children and are working in partnership with the Fat Squirrel Outdoor Learning Company so as to make best use of our own and local woodland environments. fatsquirreloutdoor.co.uk

In our outdoor learning lessons we work to develop childrens' enjoyment and understanding of the outdoor environment; build character, resilience and life skills and support health and wellbeing.
