At Forest Town, we are athletes! We want all children to experience PE learning that is positive and motivating. We want our pupils to have the opportunity to succeed and excel in competitive sport and physical activities. We will create a positive and engaging learning environment that motivates students to explore different physical activities. By providing a strong foundation in physical education, we will help our pupils to develop the skills and confidence they need to succeed in life. Through our focused curriculum we hope to instil a love for physical activity that will fuel their health and happiness for years to come.

At the end of KS2, a Forest Town child will have:

• The knowledge and skills to improve their independent ability and personal best.
• The kindness to demonstrate the key values of sportsmanship, fairness and respect when taking part in sporting activities.
• Opportunities to work together as part of a team both within school and through competitive experiences.
• Shown that they are adventurous by taking part in a wide range of sporting activities.
• The ability to persevere and know that even when we fall, we can rise again, stronger and more determined than before.
• An understanding of their responsibility to lead a physically healthy and happy life.

PE is delivered by class teachers and our specialist sport coach who have worked hard to ensure our school has achieved Gold Award 2019.
