At Fordham we strive to make physical education both enjoyable and accessible to all. We hope all children have a good understanding of physical literacy and know how to lead a healthy and active lifestyle.
Our primary focus is placed on delivering a progressive, engaging and varied curriculum. We are committed to giving each child at least two hours of high-quality PE per week. This is structured into one hour of real PE focusing on developing the fundamental skills that are vital for physical development and a one-hour games lesson to apply these skills and use them in a wide variety of sports.
We offer a range of extra-curricular opportunities to enhance what is offered to children in lessons. Throughout the academic year, we organise a wide range of before school, lunchtime and after school clubs as well as SEND specific interventions. Another area of focus is giving our children the chance to represent the school in a variety of different festivals and competitions. We have built strong links with local sports partnerships and other organisations, in the community, to ensure that we access a huge range of opportunities for our children which can have so many positive outcomes.

Some of the Year 6 children apply to be a member of the Sports Crew. They help to develop, organize and promote school sport and intra-school competitions within Fordham. They help our with events such as Sports Day, run clubs at lunchtime for the pupils and can help out in lessons by organizing equipment or leading warm-ups.
