Physical Education (PE)
Our vision is for all children at Rothwell St Mary’s to experience exceptional physical education, school sport and activity that will lead to life-long participation for all. Positive participation in physical education will enable children to build, self-esteem, teamwork and positive attitudes in P.E.
At Rothwell St Mary’s Physical Education is a key element, which is incorporated into everyday life. As a school we aim to motivate students to maintain a balance between their school work and Physical Education. Physical Education is an essential part of healthy living especially for children who are at school. We believe that Physical Education enhances children’s ability to remain focused and increases concentration. Our students are promoted to take part in activities along with their school work, so this will help in maintaining their healthy bodies and minds.
We are very fortunate to have Premier Sports who work with all our children and staff. They also provide before and after school sporting skills practise. During our P.E. lessons and after school skills practise the children have the opportunity to learn new skills and build teamwork skills.
We practise our sporting skills through games which include:
- Netball
- Gymnastics
- Multi sports
- Hockey
- Swimming
- Tennis
- Football
- Basket ball
- Athletics
- Fencing
- Archery
- Cricket
