Games and PE are compulsory for all children, except those permanently excluded on health grounds. These children must have a note from their GP to this effect. Those suffering from minor ailments will only be excused if supported by a brief note from the parents. Each class has at least two timetabled PE sessions every week.

There are a wide range of sports activities undertaken during the year where children represent the school. These include: Swimming, Rugby, Netball, Hockey and Athletics. Any child taking part represents the school and this is recognised as a privilege and an achievement. It also fosters team spirit and the development of skills. We aim to give children of all abilities the opportunity to participate in competitive events.
