At Highwoods we love our PE lessons.  We develop a full range of sports and skills during lessons.  We also have a fully qualified specialist coach who teaches outdoor PE lessons with Key Stage 2 pupils.  Year 4 and 5 pupils have the opportunity to have 20 swimming lessons and meet the National Curriculum requirements of swimming 25 metres, being competent in three different strokes, and knowing some key life-saving skills. 

We love taking part in competitions and events and are very successful.  At Highwoods, we are aware of the positive impact that sport can have on young people. 'Physical Literacy' means children experience the feelings and emotions conveyed while being active, and feel successful, healthy and part of a team while enjoying sport. Have a look at our newsletters section of the website to see all of our latest successes celebrated.
