At Westbridge Academy, we recognise the value of Physical Education (PE) and its importance in leading a healthier lifestyle as well as impacting cognitive skills, attitudes and academic behaviour. These include enhanced concentration and attention as well as improved classroom behaviour. It is important that children at Westbridge learn how physical activity benefits the body and how exercise encourages healthy lifestyles into adulthood.
PE at Westbridge encourages children to be involved in physical activity and develop competence in a broad range of activities such as running, jumping and throwing as well as providing opportunity to collaborate and work as part of a team based upon games such as football, netball and hockey. At Westbridge, gifted and talented sports people that show commitment, passion and positivity, will be given opportunities to reach their aspiration with small group teaching with the PE teacher.
