Aims
- To celebrate sport and games as important parts of the provision made for all pupils and help all pupils develop their skills in sport and games to the best of their ability.
- To encourage pupils to participate in sport and games, with the opportunities available widening as they get older.
- To maximise the number of sports and games available as well as the numbers of pupils participating in these activities.
- To work to ensure that pupils are sufficiently engaged by PE and Games during school that they continue to participate into adult life.
Success is important and pupils are encouraged to be competitive and to do as well as possible against other schools. This sense of competition should work within the framework of rules for each activity and also within the wider framework of respect and sportsmanship.
