Active, happy, and thriving

We recognise the importance of regular exercise to your child’s overall wellbeing; it offers a chance for them to let off steam and a break from the classroom, as well as all the health benefits of being physically active. We aim to make exercise fun and enjoyable, hopefully forming a lifelong habit for your child.

Starting in the Infant School, your daughter or son will enjoy weekly trips to Failand for sport, as well as Forest School. These Failand sessions will be where your child will have the opportunity to start to learn the basic skills for a range of sports. Games sessions and Forest School at Failand start from September for Years 1 and 2, and from October for Reception.

Our Infant children also have a term each of PE, Dance and Swimming. PE lessons will be taught in the Sports Hall on the Main School site, Dance is taught by a specialist Dance teacher in our Dance Studio in the 1532 Performing Arts Centre and swimming sessions take place at Henbury Swimming Pool.

A real highlight of the Infant sporting calendar is the Infant Sports Day at Failand, where children take part in a carousel of sporting activities before competing in races. The children love being awarded stickers by our team of Year 6 helpers as they complete the various challenges and activities. Families are warmly invited to join us for the day to join the fun and to share a picnic lunch with your children at the end of the morning's events.
