PE
​
Physical Education (PE) is an integral part of the curriculum, offering numerous benefits to children’s physical, social, and emotional development. With exceptional facilities, including a dedicated swimming pool, and specialist PE teachers, students receive high-quality instruction that supports both skill development and overall well-being.
​
PE lessons follow both the National Curriculum for England and the IPC, providing a well-rounded program that includes units such as invasion games, swimming, and other physical activities. These units are designed to enhance children’s coordination, motor skills, and fitness while also developing essential life skills such as teamwork, communication, and resilience.
​
Specialist teachers create engaging and inclusive lessons that encourage all children to participate, regardless of ability. Through structured activities and games, students learn the value of collaboration, perseverance, and fair play, building confidence and self-esteem. Swimming lessons in the on-site pool further support physical fitness, water safety, and a lifelong appreciation for aquatic activities.
​
Beyond regular PE lessons, students can pursue their interests through after-school sports clubs or lunchtime drop-in sessions, offering opportunities to try new activities or refine existing skills. These clubs not only promote a healthy lifestyle but also provide an outlet for stress relief and social interaction.
​
For those seeking a competitive edge, children can represent the school in the local MPSL sports league, competing in various sports and aiming for trophies. These experiences foster a sense of pride, school spirit, and achievement, as well as teaching valuable lessons in discipline and sportsmanship.
​
Overall, PE lessons at PDO School provide children with a strong foundation for a healthy, active lifestyle while equipping them with essential skills that benefit their personal and social growth.
