The purpose of our PE curriculum

At Woodlands Park Primary School, we recognise the importance of PE and Physical Activity and it is an integral part of our curriculum.

• We intend to offer a curriculum that allows all children to be inspired to lead healthy, physically active lives, both now and in the future.
• We believe that physical education is a vehicle for children to develop physically, socially, creatively, personally and cognitively. Therefore, we believe that our children should be physically active every day, whether through daily physical activity, P.E. lessons, breaktimes or extra-curricular activities.
