All young people should have the opportunity to live healthy and active lives. A positive experience of sport and physical activity at a young age can build a lifetime habit of participation and is central to meeting the government’s ambitions for a world-class education system.
Physical activity has numerous benefits for children and young people’s physical health, as well as their mental wellbeing (increasing self-esteem and emotional wellbeing and lowering anxiety and depression), and children who are physically active are happier, more resilient and more trusting of their peers. Ensuring that pupils have access to sufficient daily activity can also have wider benefits for pupils and schools, improving behaviour as well as enhancing academic achievement.
Our Sports Plan set out our commitment to ensuring that our children have access to as much sport and physical activity as possible!
Swimming is important to us and we take children to the local baths as soon as possible. Currently 36% of our Y6 children can swim 25m or more independently and use a range of strokes.
