Sport at Castle Court

All the children at Castle Court receive a broad and balanced programme of Physical Education and Sport. PE lessons provide plenty of gymnastic instruction, including floor gym, vaulting and sports acro.

Every child in the main school undergoes fitness tests for speed, strength, leg power and stamina and has a personal pupil profile on which the results are recorded and progress monitored. Swimming is taught to all the children throughout the summer PE lessons.
