Coteford Infant School

Physical Education has many benefits to the development of all children's physical health and mental well-being. It supports the holistic development of all children, as children who partake in physical activities are happier and more resilient.

We have a commitment to involve every child in physical activities that will increase their confidence and challenge them at their own level through various sports within the curriculum such as gymnastics, dance and games.

Each class has 2 PE sessions a week. One lesson per week is delivered by a qualified coach and supported by school staff, with the second lesson being delivered by class teachers. Children are also given opportunities to join a variety of after school sports clubs.

Sport Premium funds are used to support specialist coaches leading KS1 games sessions, training staff and running clubs at lunchtime and after school. Some funding is used to improve equipment and our outdoor facilities to keep children actively learning throughout the curriculum.
