Physical Education

We offer high quality physical opportunities for our children. The aim of physical education is to promote physical activity and healthy lifestyles. Children are taught to observe the conventions of fair play, honest competition and good sporting behaviour as individual participants, team members and spectators.

Children take part in games (football, tag rugby, netball), gymnastics (taught by a specialist coach), orienteering, dance, drama, cricket, cross country and athletic activities using indoor and outdoor environments where appropriate. Children can take part in after school clubs and have the opportunity to compete against other schools. In Years 5 and 6, children go on a residential course for outdoor activities. We work with Primary Sports for most of our sports activities and make regular use of the village hall. We also use the Bridport Lesiure Centre for swimming lessons. We regularly take part in events with other local schools.
