Physical Education (PE)

Why is PE important at ICS?

At the ICS we believe that Physical Education should promote:

 

  • Your child's belief in themselves as having something of value to contribute.
  • A recognition of the value of others.
  • Independence.
  • Tolerance of others in all situations.
  • Self-control.
  • Equal opportunities in all areas of the PE curriculum for every child to reach their full potential, regardless of age, gender, race or ability.

 

PE Curriculum
Pupils learn a variety of activities in accordance with the programme of study including dance, games, gymnastics, athletics, outdoor and adventurous activities.

Swimming
Each of our Primary classes has a weekly swimming lesson held at the Dunes Club and taught by up to three of our coaches, depending on the size of the group.  There is a Dunes Club life guard on duty all the time our children are in the pool. The children travel to Dunes on school buses, supervised by their teaching assistant and a sports coach.  At the Dunes Club there are supervised changing areas near to the poolside.
