PE
St Peter’s Catholic Primary School aims to provide opportunities for children to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. We offer pupils the opportunity to compete in sports and other activities, in order to help build character and reinforce values such as fairness and respect. Children are also encouraged to recognise the importance of making sure they are healthy and looking after their bodies, which God gave them, ‘do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God’ 1 Corinthians 19
