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.
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.
