In line with guidance from the Department of Education, we have a school policy relating to the teaching of Physical Education (P.E.) in our school. There are a few key points of the policy that we feel are important for parents to be aware of……
- P.E. will be taught by our teachers or external coaches in school approximately twice a week in school
- In order for pupils to access these very highly structured lessons in school (which are very different from the classroom and indeed breaktimes in the playground), children must change into P.E. Gear for the lessons. This is primarily because P.E. gear allows more ease of movement than our uniform and also when children take part in these activities (mainly indoors in our school assembly hall) they tend to sweat quite a lot! To prevent infection due to heavy sweating and alternate cooling again, children need to change straight after their P.E. lesson. Children therefore should bring P.E.Gear to school but also MUST bring their uniform again to change back into.
- Our policy also states that children should not wear any form of jewellery during PE lessons due to the fact that accidents can occur if a child is wearing jewellery for example earrings, chains, rings etc. as jewellery can get caught in others clothing when moving around.
- Our PE Gear is as follows……..
- A PLAIN WHITE T SHIRT OR A PLAIN WHITE POLO SHIRT
- PLAIN NAVY jogging bottoms (NO BRANDED Bottoms)
- PLAIN BLACK TRAINERS (VELCRO Trainers are great for Years 1 and 2 for ease of changing children cannot quite often tie their own laces at this age!)
Copies of our PE Policy and Changing for PE Policies are available from the school office upon request. If you would like a copy of these policies sent to you please complete the attached slip.
