In physical education, our children will learn a variety of different skills in sports, dance and gymnastics. At Laurance Haines, we strive for every child to know how to stay fit and healthy and how exercise has a positive effect on their physical and mental health. Physical education skills are progressively taught and developed across the years by a specialist sports coach to ensure the children receive weekly quality sessions. Children are supported to develop their swimming skills and self-help skills in the water through designated lessons. We enhance gymnastics learning through a partnership with Watford Gymnastics Club where children are able to access specialist facilities. Across a range of sports, children compete with one another and others across our Trust. Being healthy is embedded throughout our curriculum and our children take part in running the ‘Daily-Mile’ at some point across the school day. We also offer an extensive range of extra-curricular sports activities before and after school.
