We provide a broad and balanced programme of physical education and we believe that every child should have activities designed to be enjoyable, purposeful and varied. In 2025, the school received a distinction from the Association of Physical education, in recognition of the sporting education and additional sports on offer to all children at Parklands.
Through providing positive experiences, a lifelong interest in physical activity is encouraged.
Promoting a healthy and active lifestyle is incredibly important to us as we recognise the impact it has on pupils well-being, confidence, resilience and team work. As a school, we are committed to using the Government’s Sports Premium in the following ways:
- To enhance the quality of our sport curriculum and increase the variety of sporting activities on offer to our pupils
- To build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now will benefit pupils joining the school in future years
- To increase pupil participation in competitive sport, ensuring more pupils take part in more events
