At St Margaret’s we aim for our children to choose an active lifestyle and develop a love of sport through positive experiences, meaningful education and a culture of daily physical activity. We believe that physical education should inspire an active generation who are equipped with the tools and understanding to make a positive impact on their own physical health and wellbeing and enhance life-long fitness and life choices. We value the importance of an inclusive and holistic curriculum that weaves into all aspects of our daily lives and is accessible by all. We intend to provide a wealth of sports and active experiences that will enrich and inspire our children and encourage exciting opportunities for competition and personal challenge.
