At Lacewood, children throughout the school take part in a variety of physical activities, including games, apparatus work, movement and dance. As part of the National Curriculum swimming is offered to all Year 3 children.

Our P.E policy, in line with the National Curriculum requirements, aims to contribute to the physical development of each child. Developing versatility, adaptability and control, as well as the child’s ability to co-operate with others, be creative and confident. In the early years P.E. helps to develop basic movement skill and co-ordination, while older children are encouraged to think for themselves, solve problems and develop successful strategies and tactics in a wide variety of games. All key stage one and two classes are timetabled to participate in at least 2 hours of physical activity each week. Outdoor education is included in the curriculum whenever the opportunity arises or the weather enables. Outdoor physical activity is also encouraged within Key Stage two residential visits.
