PE and Sport
At Heathlands we know how important PE, sport and being active can be to the development of children. We encourage our pupils to discover a love of sport which we hope, and have seen in past pupils, stays with them long after they leave us. PE leads to improved fitness, health and well-being, focus, drive, concentration, attitude and academic achievement. Providing a broad and balanced curriculum throughout the school is key to the high quality provision we offer. Children are encouraged to always strive to achieve their best, whether this is running a personal best time or competing at a county event. Healthy competition is key to pupils wanting to improve; competition against themselves and competition against others. Throughout the year children take part in inter-school house competitions as well as having the opportunity to represent the school in a wide range of sports.
Please have a look at out different sports pages to read about upcoming sports fixtures, reports of sporting events and ways to play sport in local clubs and teams.
