At Belleville Wix Academy, Physical Education (PE) is well established with talented specialist teachers leading an engaging, ambitious, relevant and nurturing PE curriculum.
We adopt a fundamental movement skills approach to teaching PE, ensuring that our children develop the necessary skills to be confident in secondary school and beyond, in the hope that our children become lifelong participators in physical activity. To achieve this, we offer a wide range of physical activity taught as games, gymnastics, swimming and dance.
Pupils in our English stream receive a games lesson every week and are taught gymnastics and dance alternately each week. Pupils in our bilingual stream receive a games and gymnastics lesson in their English focus week.
Gymnastics
All pupils from Nursery to Year 6 receive gymnastics lessons from a team of extremely talented and engaging coaches who have implemented an engaging and ambitious curriculum.
