Our Vision

Here at Cheslyn Hay Primary School children are provided with a well -balanced Physical Education programme designed to inspire and encourage them to enjoy participation and gain personal success. It strives to motivate pupils to further develop their individual potential as well as create positive attitudes towards physical activity.

Specialised coaches and staff endeavour to provide stimulating, enjoyable and challenging learning experiences for all children. This is achieved through a balance of individual, paired, and group activities; cooperative, collaborative and competitive situations which cater for the preferences, strengths and needs of every pupil.

Pupils are encouraged to appreciate the importance of health and begin to understand those factors that affect healthy lifestyle choices and fitness.
