PE
Our aim is to encourage everyone to lead a healthy and active lifestyle continuing this into adulthood.
The Physical Education department at All Saints School offers a wide variety of sporting opportunities both in curriculum and extra-curricular time providing students with the opportunity to develop their skills, understanding and interest in a whole host of sporting experiences. Students will also develop their physical skills and understanding in all lessons as well as their social and mental ability through leadership opportunities.
At the heart of our philosophy is the desire to provide each of our students with the opportunity to access high quality physical education in our warm and friendly community. We believe that learning extends beyond the classroom and everyone is encouraged to participate to develop their skills and also to understand the importance of an active healthy lifestyle and the value of working as part of a team.
