Developing Moral Strengths, Skills and Co-Operation

Our Philosophy for physical education is that all children should be able to experience enjoyment and achieve success at their appropriate level. We encourage our pupils to strive for the best in a disciplined and sporting manner, developing physical skills, moral strengths and leadership qualities.

The curriculum for PE is based on the British school system with pupils having access to specialist physical education teaching from the age of four, and swimming coaching from the age of three.  

The school grounds have extensive sports fields with facilities for all major sports, as well as squash, tennis, basketball and netball courts.

Six core activities are covered during curriculum time: Games, Swimming, Athletics, Gymnastics, Dance and outdoor Education. Games activities cover the following sports: Cricket, Basketball, Badminton, Water Polo, Football, Tennis, Rugby, Volleyball, Water-Volleyball, Netball, Rounders, Water-Basketball, Hockey, Squash and Table-tennis.
