Broad Town Church of England Primary School

Our PE Curriculum and wider physical activity provides lots of opportunities for children to live out our values of Respect, Friendship, Honesty, Perseverance, Responsibility and Thankfulness.

DfE Vision: All pupils leave primary school physically literate and with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy, active lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.

At Broad Town School we feel that it is important to encourage healthy lifestyles amongst our children and believe in the power of sport to promote a range of learning and social skills and to develop self esteem. In view of this we provide all of our children with a rich and varied P.E. curriculum which includes some specialist coaching as well as a range of special sporting events and the opportunity to take part in a range of active after school clubs.

PE also provides opportunities for the children to demonstrate their gem powers.
