2021/22 Physical Activity

Physical Activity 2021-2022

Our school promotes inclusive physical activity throughout the school day. Each day we have two outdoor breaks (weather permitting). These breaks are staggered due to Covid restrictions. First break is from 10.45-10.55 and 11-11.10am and second break is from 12.45-1pm and 1-1.15pm. We encourage children not to bring their lunches out to the yard so they can be fully active during this time. We have 3 yards: Infant yard, Front yard, (both of which have playground markings) and Basketball yard so the children have ample space to get active and run around. Both teachers and pupils are strongly encouraged to 'Do your talking as you're walking' so noone is idle during break times and the Active Team are always encouraging others to be active.

Feel free to explore below all the various innovative ideas our school has of staying active:
