Importance to Bishop Aldhelm’s children:

PE is very important at Bishop Aldhelm’s. As well as lessons, children have the opportunity to join different extra curricula clubs. A wide variety of clubs are offered for free by staff at school whilst others are paid for by external providers. Children have the chance to represent the school at a friendly level up to county. The school has a number of teams including football, netball, sailing, cross country and athletics.

Local Links:

Children at Bishop Aldhelm’s have opportunities to play sport alongside and against other local schools both in friendly and in competitive events. We make sure of local facilities such as the leisure centre for swimming, Rockley Water Sports for sailing and RNLI for beach/water safety. The local area is well known for sailing, with many people doing this recreationally and as athletes. There is also a strong running community in the local area, including across our parents.

We want children to leave Bishop Aldhelm’s being able to:

• know how to participate in a range of team and individual sports
• explain how to keep fit and healthy with exercises
• have had experiences with playing against other teams
