PRIMARY P.E.

Encouraging Physical Fitness and Fun

At The English Modern School, we embrace the Cambridge Primary Physical Education curriculum, where "learning to move is just as important as moving to learn."

Physical education is a key element of a well-rounded education. By engaging in regular physical activity, students not only enhance their physical and mental health but also experience improved academic performance across all subjects. The habits formed through exercise in the early years lay the groundwork for a lifetime of health and well-being, setting our students up for success both in and outside the classroom.

We’re committed to fostering an active, healthy lifestyle that supports both growth and enjoyment.

WHAT WILL STUDENTS LEARN?

Cambridge Primary Physical Education is all about learning to move and moving to learn. Through a variety of fun and engaging activities like games, team sports, gymnastics, and dance, our learners develop essential movement skills that enhance their coordination, flexibility, speed, stamina, and strength.

In addition to physical growth, students also build important social skills such as teamwork, leadership, sharing, and fair play. Whether through group activities or team challenges, they learn the value of collaboration and the joy of working together, setting a strong foundation for both personal and academic success.

Let’s move, grow, and thrive together!
