Physical Education

PE is a highly valued part of the curriculum at King Edward Primary School as it promotes a healthy lifestyle, the building blocks upon which they can develop into healthy, knowledgeable adults. It benefits our pupil’s physical health - getting the recommended amount of exercise combats obesity, which subsequently reduces the risk of diabetes, heart disease, asthma, sleep disorders and other illnesses. Regular exercise also contributes to cardiovascular health and promotes muscle and bone development. Physical activity contributes to improved academic performance and regular activity during the school day is strongly associated with higher concentration levels as well as more directed, composed behaviour.
