At Wellesley Park Primary, we understand that PE is a vital part of school life and ultimately children’s future well-being. Exercise is intrinsically linked to effective learning and ensuring excellence within our curriculum.

At Wellesley Park, we ensure that our PE curriculum is progressive and allows children to develop fundamental skills and apply them to a variety of sports and activities. All children are provided with the skills and given opportunities to demonstrate improvement to achieve their personal best. Our pupils are physically active and this has positive implications on their learning in the classroom. Children understand how to lead a healthy lifestyle and understand the importance of exercise. We hope children enjoy PE and develop a love of sport and physical activity in and out of school. All pupils understand the values and importance of fair play and being a good sportsperson.
