Sporting Opportunities for All

We are very fortunate to have a full time sports coach on our teaching staff, Mr Willingham.

In 2016 St. Bernadette School was one of the few schools nationally to be awarded the new prestigious Platinum Mark Award, which we have held ever since!

We believe that every child should enjoy a range of experiences within physical education and sport.  Regardless of their ability, our children receive equal encouragement and are offered the opportunity to take part in a wide variety of sporting activities.  We believe that physical education not only improves health, reduces stress and improves concentration, but also promotes correct physical growth and development. 

Our aim is to create healthy habits for life, increase pupils’ fitness, engage more challenging pupils and decrease child obesity.  Pupils should leave us physically literate and with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to lead a healthy, active life and life-long participation in physical activity and sport.
