At St George’s Catholic Primary School we are lucky enough to have our very own PE team! The children receive 2 hours of PE within the curriculum and this includes a swimming lesson every other week. We pride ourselves on offering a wide variety of sporting after school clubs. The children also attend sporting festivals, compete against other schools in Central Venue Leagues and are encouraged to have active playtimes.

All teachers are conscious that children do not sit at their desks for too long and we promote active learning. We also use Brain Gym/Super Movers to keep children engaged.
