Physical Education

At Sunnyhill, our goal is for children to be physically active. We believe that physical activity is vital in children’s all-round development, enabling them to pursue happy, healthy and active lives. We want to ensure that, by the time they leave Sunnyhill, the children will have secure knowledge of the wide ranging benefits of regular exercise and will develop a passion and enthusiasm for one or more sports or forms of exercise.

We use the Moving Matters lesson plans to deliver high quality PE lessons. Teachers develop skills and knowledge through highly active lessons, building on core skills year on year. Children benefit from being taught by professional instructors for swimming in Years 5 and 6 (Streatham Leisure Centre), Gymnastics from Year 1 - Year 6 (Benchmark Gymnastics) and Moving Matters coaches for a term each year.

By the time children leave Sunnyhill, they will all have represented the school in a sporting competition and will have had the opportunity to take part in a variety of different disciplines at our annual Sports Day in the Summer term.

Enrichment

At Sunnyhill we believe in the importance of developing and extending the curriculum through a wide range of purposeful enrichment opportunities.  These opportunities include; educational visits, visiting speakers,  sports competitions, after school clubs, music recitals and school exhibitions.  Through these experiences we want our pupils to:

• look at subjects in more depth
• develop their interests and talents
• learn life skills that will equip them to be responsible, respectful and active citizens.
