Physical Education (PE)

Curriculum INTENT

Our intent is to provide all pupils with the opportunity to learn and enhance specific skills through an inclusive, broad and balanced curriculum. To offer diverse opportunities for students to develop physical competences which promote and encourage competition, instil teamwork and develop character. We aim to create a culture which inspires physical and mental well-being through a healthy active lifestyle. Our vision is for our students to remain positively engaged in physical activity throughout their life as a result of the understanding, confidence, experiences and passion that has been nurtured at Wright Robinson College.
