PE takes place on a Monday and swimming on a Friday. Pupils may come to school ready in their kits. A reminder that PE kit in warmer weather is red shorts and a white t-shirt and plain grey, black or red tracksuit with a white t shirt in colder weather. All children need trainers for PE lessons. Gymnastics lessons are taught in bare feet in the studio.

In Year 1 the age related phase is phase 4 and phase 5
In Year 2 the age related phase is phase 6.
