Physical Education

Sports teach invaluable life lessons, shaping character and instilling important values. They teach the significance of playing by the rules, the thrill of victory, and the resilience needed in the face of defeat. Beyond competition, sports offer deeper insights into life’s challenges and triumphs.

Outdoor play is an essential aspect of childhood development, contributing to physical strength, coordination, and overall well-being. It nurtures sportsmanship, teamwork, self-discipline, balance, and focus. Moreover, it promotes essential life skills such as time management, leadership, and collaboration. Through sports, children also develop a sense of group dynamics, learning to work together effectively while respecting others' roles within the team. This environment provides numerous opportunities for children to grow and acquire a broad range of skills, including:

  • Social Skills - when they play with other children they learn to communicate, share, collaborate and empathise with others
  • Imagination and creativity - outside play is often open-ended and children need to be creative about what and how games are played
  • Sense of self - as they master new skills and play with other children they improve their competence and confidence in their own physical and social abilities
  • Sense of connection - a sense of connection to place, to peers and to their local community and environment</li> <li>Self-care skills - managing physical and social challenges helps children to learn about keeping themselves safe
