At Hermitage, we provide children with a comprehensive physical education curriculum to enable them to develop their skills, knowledge and understanding of sport and physical activity. Our curriculum also fosters interpersonal skills and values, including determination, self-belief, teamwork, respect and passion. 

We know great PE happens in our school when:

• We have high levels of participation in PE lessons, clubs and competitions.

• The curriculum begins by priorising core skills, before applying them to a specific sport, as part of our ‘spiral curriculum’ approach.

• Lessons are engaging, interactive and inclusive.

• Children can make connections from their learning to other curriculum areas.

• The curriculum is well-balanced to ensure children are exposed to a wide range of sports and exercise.

Most importantly of all, we want pupils at Hermitage to enjoy being active and appreciate the physical and mental health benefits of a healthy, active lifestyle both now and in their future.

Cluster Sports Competitions

Hermitage is part of the local sports cluster group, led by 'Thrive' and made up of five local schools. Each week our children take part in organised sporting competitions, tournaments and festivals to apply their learning from PE lessons, represent our school and take part in competitive sports.
