Physical Education

We aim to foster a lifelong interest in being active and healthy through an enjoyable but hardworking approach to learning. Creative, artistic and expressive skills are developed through movement studies of dance and gymnastics.
Sporting activities in the winter months are dominated by netball and hockey alongside basketball, tag rugby and football. During the summer term activities include rounders, tennis, athletics, cricket, orienteering and outdoor pursuits. All the girls from Reception to F4 have swimming lessons throughout the year. Competition is encouraged in house matches and in fixtures against other school teams in netball and rounders from F3 upwards.
Extra curricular activities form a very important part of school life. Our girls regularly and successfully compete in cross-country races within the Wharfedale League. Sports Clubs give further opportunities for development of skills in other games and the chance to work for BAGA gymnastic awards.
