Early Years
In the Early Years our staff teach Physical Development in a fun and informal way to ensure that children develop their balance, co-ordination and basic skills in Physical Education. They also develop their fine motor skills and learn about keeping healthy.
KS1
Children in KS1 have two hours of P.E. a week. They are taught gymnastics ,dance, athletics and a wide variety of games.
KS2
Skills taught in Key Stage 1 are built upon in Key Stage 2. Additionally, children have swimming lessons and are trained in cycling proficiency. We have developed a strong link with Arsenal Football Club. Children have specialist training sessions with their coaches and have the opportunity to join our Arsenal after school club.

Wider Sporting Activities
We also provide a range of sporting activities as part of our curriculum. This year the children in Year 4 have the opportunity to work with coaches who are training them to play cricket. These have been partly funded by the 'Primary Schools Sports Funding'. Further information about this funding can be found on our Sports Funding page.
