Newton Primary School

Physical Education Curriculum
Our broad aim for all children in PE and Games is to promote healthy physical development through the acquisition of skills, co-operation and confidence. We endeavour to achieve this in an atmosphere which encourages individual and team effort. The children take part in movement and dance, apparatus work and educational gymnastics, team games, swimming and athletics. All children have the opportunity to use local pools during the year.

We consider these activities to be an important part of your child's education. Children are expected to participate unless there are special grounds for exclusion. If your child is unfit for an activity, please write us a note and we will make alternative arrangements. It is important that your child is provided with kit on the appropriate days.

There is a Games Club once a week for the Junior children. Netball and football matches are played regularly against local schools during the season. In the summer the whole school takes part in a Sports Day. This includes a wide range of activities which are fun and enjoyable.
