PE

“Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand.”

Nelson Mandela

We are passionate about giving every child the opportunity to enjoy, succeed and thrive through Physical Education. We believe that PE and school sport play a vital role in helping our pupils develop the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to lead healthy, active and fulfilling lives.

Through high-quality teaching, a broad range of activities and plenty of opportunities to get involved, we aim to inspire all children to find a sport or physical activity they love. We want every pupil to experience the enjoyment of being active every day — whether in PE lessons, at break and lunchtimes, in after-school clubs or by representing our school in competitions.

We also believe in the power of sport to build character. Through teamwork, leadership, fairness, resilience and respect, our pupils learn valuable life skills that extend far beyond the playing field.

Our pupils regularly take part in sporting events and competitions within and beyond school, giving them the chance to challenge themselves and compete at higher levels. We are proud to support our pupils in connecting with local clubs and organisations — and some even go on to represent their county or further.

At Parc Eglos, every child is encouraged to:

• Take part in high-quality, well-planned PE lessons.
• Practise and master physical skills, aiming to make progress and achieve their personal best.
• Understand the importance of leading a healthy, active lifestyle — supported through links with other subjects such as Science.
• Develop leadership skills by helping to run lunchtime clubs and activities.
• Participate for enjoyment, health and wellbeing, as well as for competition and achievement.

Above all, we want every child to enjoy being active and to leave Parc Eglos inspired to live a fit, active and healthy life.
