PE and School Sport

Physical Education (PE) is focuses on developing students’ physical fitness, motor skills, teamwork, and understanding of health and well-being through exercise, sports, and movement activities

At Ashton Gate, we want every child to develop a lifelong love of physical activity and enjoy the experience of taking part in sport — whether for fun, fitness, or competition. We believe that sport and exercise play a vital role in keeping children healthy, supporting mental wellbeing, and building confidence. 

Through a wide range of sports and activities, including swimming, pupils learn essential life skills such as teamwork, perseverance, and resilience. These experiences help children grow both physically and personally, with positive effects across all areas of learning.

We are proud of our broad and stimulating extra-curricular programme, offering opportunities for every child to get involved, stay active, and discover new interests.
