PE at St Thomas'

At St. Thomas’ CE Primary School, our vision for Physical Education and Sport is that every child should have the opportunity to take part in physical activity on a regular basis and become more physically confident and competent. We hope that through all the sporting opportunities and physical activity we offer, the children will potentially develop a love and passion for sport and continue this into their later lives. 

We aim to provide our children with fun, exciting and active PE lessons every week and educate them on living a healthy, active lifestyle. We ensure we promote our school values of thankfulness, truthfulness, perseverance, service, courage, forgiveness, compassion, trust, friendship, respect, generosity and justice through our PE lessons at all times and aim to develop strong, resilient learners. 

At St. Thomas’, we strive to give as many children as possible the opportunity to compete in a variety of competitions, during school time or by representing the school at local events. We hope that in doing so the children will develop greater confidence, team work and learn to win or lose with grace and sportsmanship. 

It is also of paramount importance that we create sporting leaders during the children's time at St. Thomas’. We aim to offer lots of children the opportunity to lead sporting activities, organise games and events and learn to lead by example. By emphasising leadership, we hope the children learn the importance of communication, organisation, team work, resilience, perseverance and a respect for rules. 

PE and Sport are a proud part of the St. Thomas’ experience and we hope that this continues to grow in the future and helps to prepare our children for life after St. Thomas’.
