At Shiplake Primary we believe that PE is an essential part of the curriculum and we provide a broad variety of physical activities that allow children to appreciate the benefits of a healthy and physical lifestyle that also encourages the children to develop a love for sport.
Throughout the week children will take part in at least 2 hours of PE and the sessions are designed to provide challenge and opportunities to develop fundamental and valuable skills that can be transferred to all curriculum areas.
