Physical Education plays an important part in the lives of all pupils, and at its roots we strive to fulfil the following aims:

• To create a positive and enjoyable learning environment, in which all children will have the opportunity to develop their ful potential, and which will encourage the beginnings of a lifelong involvement in sport and physical activity.
• To promote health and general fitness levels in all pupils through active participation in a full and varied PE programme.
• To develop a range of skills necessary to participate successfully in more formally recognised games and activities.
• To foster an appreciation and understanding of the underlying principles inherent in games activities, eg the concepts of fair play, honesty, teamwork, perseverance and encouragement.

In order to achieve these aims, all children receive a one hour mixed PE lesson each week, during which a variety of topics such as gymnastics, badminton, swimming and athletics are covered. In the afternoons the boys and the girls separate for their games sessions, where the major games are coached and teams prepare for their weekly matches. We have a full and active fixture list, with the majority of inter school matches taking place on a Wednesday and Saturday afternoon.

As well as inter school fixtures pupils also enjoy the keen rivalry of inter house matches, where all children are encouraged to represent their House at some point during the year. This rivalry comes to a head in the summer term with our very enjoyable swimming gala and sports day.

In addition to our games programme, pupils also have the opportunity to choose from a range of optional activities sessions aimed at enhancing and complementing the games programme. These may include such activities as fencing, judo, sailing, rowing, squash & golf etc.

Whilst striving for excellence, we also see the need for fun. We hope above all, that whatever their ability, all children will come away from Junior King's having achieved their full potential and with nothing but positive memories.
