Physical Education

At Five Spires Academy we believe that physical education has a vital and unique role to play in a child’s development. As part of the PE curriculum, our children experience a wide range of individual, partner and team activities that help to build a positive attitude and help children to understand the role that regular physical activity can play in a balanced lifestyle.

​

The range of physical activities we provide includes: athletics, games, dance, gymnastics and Year 4 attend weekly swimming lessons. All activities are designed to be enjoyable, vigorous, purposeful and regular, to give children the maximum benefit, all children at Five Spires Academy participate in both indoor and outdoor PE sessions.

​
