Physical Education

At Heaton St.Barnabas Primary, physical education is not limited to the sporting domain. A conscious effort is made, not only in the area of sporting endeavour, but in everyday classroom activities.  We aim to give every child opportunity to develop manual dexterity, co-ordination skills, games skills and a sense of “team spirit”. We regularly take part in community sporting events. e.g. Football, multi sports, Ultimate Frisby etc and all these activities are open to every child in the appropriate age group.

We regularly take part in sporting competitions which gives our children a sense of pride and teamwork. Healthy competition gives us a direct link to our super learners who relate to persistence, risk taking, responsibility, independence, curiosity and collaboration.

We work closely with local schools and always strive to offer additional sporting events in order to increase participation in physical activity through Sports UK.

Organised activities are in place during break and Lunchtime which offer a broad and inclusive chance for our children to engage in physical activity, these include the daily mile, football, basketball and cricket. Children have the opportunity to suggest new activities through the school council team.
