Curriculum - Sport
All children participate in a well-balanced programme of Games, Gymnastics and Dance. The principal aim is to provide enjoyable activities to develop and refine children’s movement – running, jumping, throwing, climbing, balancing, swinging, bending, skipping, twisting and turning.
There are opportunities for development of personal qualities (self-discipline, self-confidence, initiative, leadership) and attitudes (co-operation, team-spirit, respect for rules).
Netball and Hockey are our winter games. The girls are coached by specialist, well experienced and dedicated staff and have the opportunity to represent the school in tournaments Years 5 and 6. Early morning training sessions are available to all girls, with lunchtime and after school practices scheduled for team players.
Athletics, Rounders, Tennis are offered in the Summer Term. |
