Impact
 
  • Children enjoy their PE lessons, which is evident in subject manager pupil conferencing.
  • PE has a positive impact on children's physical wellbeing.  Pupil conferencing shows that they have a good understanding of the importance of exercise and the impact this has on their body.  They understand the importance of warming up and cooling down and why this is important.  The majority of children lead fit and active lifestyles and many chose to take part in a sports club, either at school or in the local community.
  • PE has a positive impact on mental wellbeing.  Pupil conferencing shows that they understand how exercise can effect your mood and how you feel.
  • Children attain well across the school in PE (outcomes at the end of 2023 - 2024):
