Physical Education

At St Mary's we feel that Physical Education from the beginning of starting school, is a fundamental and essential part of a balanced curriculum.  Physical activity is vital in children’s all-round development, enabling them to pursue

happy, healthy and active 

lives.We aim to promote confidence and develop skills in a range of progressive activities, namely Dance, Gymnastics, Games, Swimming, Athletics and Outdoor and Adventurous Activities.

To achieve our aims effectively, the children's learning  takes place in an environment where expectations are high, activities are varied and pupils are taught to value the benefits of participation in physical activity while at school and

throughout life. Children learn to manage success and failure in competitive and co-operative physical activity.
