Physical Education occupies an important position in the primary curriculum. As children develop physically they need to explore their capabilities and potential and to develop an understanding that exercise plays an important part in developing a healthy life style. Alongside this, there is a need for children to gain understanding of movement and spatial awareness. In addition, children need to come to an appreciation of the value of co-operation in team games. Children are involved in sports matches with local schools and can take part in after school sports activities such as football, netball and running. During the summer term the children are able to use the school's recently refurbished swimming pool. In December 2006 the school was awarded the Active Mark for its commitment to providing high quality physical activities for its pupils.
