If due to illness or injury you don’t wish your child to participate in a PE lesson please can you put your request in writing (text message, letter or email) detailing the reason and for how long they will need to sit out.
Generally (unless you request otherwise) children sitting out of PE will accompany their class (in the case of outdoor lessons in winter they will wrap up warm) and watch, so they don’t miss the theory aspect of the lesson.
Physical Education is a compulsory aspect of the national curriculum and we endeavour to teach a minimum of two hours a week. We believe physical activity is as important for mental and emotional health as it is for a child’s physical health and it’s great fun too!
