Physical Education

PE at Barnston Primary School is a time where children are continually being taught new skills that are built upon from prior learning that they can adapt and apply to better their individual ability as a sports person. It supports them in a variety of ways including their: physical health, mental health, happiness, confidence, resilience and ability to adapt in different situations. We are very proud to share that at Barnston the children get to enjoy the sports that are covered by national curriculum, swimming and additional sports sessions that are based upon something slightly more alternative. This could include fencing or tai chi. This is in an effort to ensure that every child finds a sport that they can feel successful in. It is also about broadening the curriculum, building on skill sets and increasing cultural capital.
