At the Riverside Federation, we place great emphasis on Physical Education (PE), recognising its vital role in the holistic development of our students. Our curriculum guarantees a minimum of two hours of PE per week, ensuring that all pupils engage in regular physical activity. We are proud to offer a variety of active after-school clubs, enriching our students' experiences and promoting an active lifestyle.

Through our partnership with the Get Ahead Partnership, we provide numerous sporting opportunities offsite, further enhancing our students’ engagement with a range of physical activities. Additionally, we recognise the importance of leadership in sport; therefore, our Year 5 and 6 pupils receive training and opportunities to take on the role of sports leaders, fostering a sense of responsibility and teamwork.

We believe that participation in PE cultivates essential life skills such as resilience, teamwork, and patience. This aligns with our commitment to the 'Healthy Body, Healthy Mind' doctrine, supported by our collaboration with 'With Me In Mind.'

Furthermore, our annual swimming sessions for Years 3 to 5 consist of a block of lessons over two weeks, ensuring that every child develops crucial water safety and swimming skills. The continuous improvement of physical activity at our school is a priority, with invaluable contributions from our school council during their meetings.
