Active Schools
Making Our Pupils Physically Fit
Participating In Sports
The pupils love participating in PE and any new venture in sports. Over the next 6 weeks, the Senior pupils will attend swimming lessons in the Aura and our Junior pupils will go to gymnastics in Citadel.
During the year, we encourage visits from sports coaches , giving the children an opportunity to try a new sport and get more involved in their local clubs.
Pupils regularly take part in A K a Day, giving them a mental break between lessons and a physical challenge whilst getting out into the fresh air.
