What does PE look like at Coleridge Primary?
Sport is an integral part of life at Coleridge Primary School. It provides an opportunity for us to gain confidence, develop physical fitness and learn a range of skills and techniques in a wide variety of sports. We aim to allow to experience a range of different sports, providing extra- curricular opportunities and competition.
Our aim is to create individuals who have a lifelong love of sport and who play for many years to come.
