PE

Why is PE important?

PE provides students with the opportunity to access a variety of sports and activities in a safe environment allowing them to deal with positive and negative situations via competition. Through these experiences our students can explore social interactions, develop their communication, confidence, teamwork and leadership skills, whilst developing personal interests which can help embed a healthy and active lifestyle outside of Lighthouse School.
