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, gymnastic movement, dance 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. 

Physical education is seen as key to developing healthy lifestyles in young people and at Parson Cross, we provide a wide array of opportunities to develop this and sporting skills outside of the normal curriculum time. Regular lunchtime and after school clubs encourage children to be as physically active as possible. 

Swimming is an essential life skill and all children have the opportunity to learn to swim, taking lessons in Y4 at the local pool.  

Our children have the opportunity to experience outdoor and adventurous activities as part of our residential visits in Year 5 and Year 6.
