Sports & PE

PE is a high-profile subject at FVA; children enjoy being athletes and are proud of their achievements. Children have the opportunity to learn new sports, skills and develop values such as teamwork and fairness. We believe that all children can be successful athletes through fun and engaging PE lessons that are accessible to all. We want our children to appreciate the benefits of a healthy and physically active lifestyle.

Children have the opportunity to develop transferable skills and learn new sports. They work independently to acquire new skills and learn from each other through modelling opportunities. Children develop values of teamwork, inclusion and fairness through team sports. All of the teaching and specialist staff are committed to providing the best PE learning experiences for their classes and work hard to ensure teaching is of a consistently high quality.
