They develop the confidence and interest to get involved in exercise, sports and activities out of school and in later life, and understand and apply the long-term health benefits of physical activity.

How to support your child
We run extra-curricular clubs in a wide range of sports and activities so enabling them to attend these clubs will allow your child to progress further and attain higher levels within P.E. Also encouraging them to join teams outside of school will help them to improve performance too.
Your son/daughter should be playing competitive sport either in or outside of school to gain the highest possible grades in this section.
If they play at a high level it would be wise for you to gain video evidence and give it to the school ahead of moderation. Guidelines for this are in the specification and if you need any further help please email me on abo@sydneyrussellschool.com.
