Physical Education
At Littleborough Community Primary School we believe it is important for all children to be given the opportunity to participate in competitive sport, through both intra and inter sports competitions. The school aims to introduce children to a range of sporting activities and to encourage them to appreciate how such interests can “enrich” their lives.
We believe that Physical Education and sport play a vital role in the physical, social, emotional and intellectual development of children. Physical Education and sport are central in giving children the knowledge and understanding in order to make a positive impact on their own health and well-being. The physical education curriculum at Littleborough Primary School aims to provide children with the opportunity to take part in a wide range of sports and physical activities, carried out in a safe and supportive environment, where effort and hard-work, as well as success, is celebrated.
Developing Sportsmanship is also a key priority at Littleborough Community Primary School. We understand that it is also important to develop children’s resilience, teamwork and respect during Sporting events; these become transferable skills across all areas of the children’s lives.
" I like gymnastics because you are able to learn new skills whilst exercising.
You never know where gymnastics will take you!"
"In gymnastics I have learned how to perform teddy bear rolls, pencil roles and straddle positions.
Our coach is very helpful when we struggle to do a move or pose."
