Physical Education

In PE at Rigby we provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. Opportunities to compete in sport and other activities build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect.

We aim to ensure all pupils have the opportunity to:

• develop competence in a broad range of physical activities relevant to their needs
• are physically active for sustained periods of time
• engage in competitive sports and activities
• lead healthy, active lives

This is achieved through the use of a wide range of facilities including:

• our newly refurbished multipurpose gym including wall equipment, rebound trampoline and gymnastic apparatus
• our fitness pod including running, rowing, cross-trek, and cycling machines alongside free weights & yoga mats
• our outdoor gym
• our MUGA (multi-use games area)
• our daily mile track
• our playing field including inbuilt sunken trampoline
• bouldering wall
• our multi-sensory playground including equipment to support proprioceptive and vestibular senses through play including reaction boards, inclusive roundabout, nest swings and climbing frame.

Sport is an important part of the curriculum and a broad range of topic areas are covered, including: Football, Netball, Rugby, Tennis, Cricket, Athletics, Swimming and Dance.

We also offer after school clubs which includes wheelchair basketball amongst other activities.

We also give students the opportunities to partake in activities and events off site including golf, paddle-boarding, fishing and outdoor activities. We are also involved with local schools to engage in their Paralympic and multi-skills festivals for KS1 & 2.
