Here's what our children say about PE: 

 

"PE helps your body and mind, I feel much happier afterwards."

"Exercising regularly is very important because it keeps you physically and mentally healthy."

"The best part about PE is getting to play with others in a team and helping them to improve". 

"I really enjoy playing and learning about lots of different sports. Football, netball and athletics have been my favourites!"

"We are always so active at school and have brilliant coaches". 

"The athletics competition has been a highlight of mine - it felt so good racing past the others in the sprint, whilst my friends were cheering me on!"
