At Springwell School we believe that Physical Education and Sports are an integral part of every child’s education and development. Extending the success of the London Olympic Games we aim to inspire the next generation by providing a wide range of sporting opportunities that cater for children of all abilities. We feel that all children should have access to quality PE provision, with the intention of increasing the amount of young people taking part in regular sporting activity throughout their lives.

Dragons also enjoy swimming lessons at High Tunstall School. They are trying really hard to develop their confidence in the water and their swimming skills.
Panda Class have been practising and developing their football skills. We used our motor skills and coordination to dribble and move the ball. Teaming up in pairs, we worked on our passing skills and control of the ball. Putting all the skills together, we then played in matches against other classes.

Lion Cubs regularly use their standing frames following their physio plans. Standing frames help skin health and integrity by allowing more oxygenated blood to reach tissues and relieving pressure areas caused by sitting. Standing can also improve the children's bone density reducing the risk of fractures. There is an evidence base for the benefits is has to circulatory, respiratory and digestive health too.
