PE and Sport at Porchester

At Porchester, we strive for or children to develop a life-long, healthy and positive relationship with physical activity with the knowledge and skills they need in order to be able to lead healthy and active lives. We intend for all children to develop the social skills within PE that enable them to effectively work with and encourage others, progressing towards leadership amongst peers. We aim for the children to develop both self-confidence and social-confidence within a safe and stimulating environment. We work closely with Nottingham Forest Primary Stars to ensure that our children receive high-quality physical education which also embeds values such as fairness and respect, enabling the children to successfully engage with competitive and skills-based opportunities and additional enriching experiences.
