At Springfield Infants School and Nursery we intend to give children the opportunity to develop physical skills and knowledge in order to participate, compete and lead a healthy active lifestyle. Children should be given time to develop the competence to excel in a wide range of physical activities. All children should aspire to be physically active for sustained periods of time (75% or more of lesson time). We believe it is important for children to experience new sports within their PE Curriculum time that they might not have tried before, such as Badminton, Golf and Handball. All of the children in Year 1 and Year 2 also have access to a wide range of after school clubs throughout the year, including sports such as Football, Performing Arts, Athletics and Cricket.
