Sport & Physical Activity

The DfE Vision is for all pupils to leave prlmary school physically literate and with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy, active lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.

At Brookland Infant and Nursery School we attach great importance to physical activity and with the funding we are receiving from the government in the form of the PE and Sport Premium grant we aim to deliver high quality PE and give our children an opportunity to experience a wide range of sports. We encourage our children to lead active healthy lives.

Our school is a member of the Association for Physical Education (afPE), the Youth Sport Trust (YST) and the Premier League Primary Stars.
