PE

The Physical Education programme at Chigwell aims to ensure that all children receive a broad and balanced curriculum, which is progressive, stimulating and challenging.

In order to achieve its purpose the objectives of the programme are:

Develop physical competence and promote physical development, hence to realise the potential of each child.
To bring about enjoyment through physical skills, thereby fostering a positive attitude towards physical education and combining this with a desire to learn.
Through experiences to teach pupils the value of participating while at school and throughout life.
Develop an appreciation of skilful performances.
Develop problem solving skills.
Establishment of self-esteem through the development of physical confidence.
Development of inter-personal skills.
Making decisions and selecting, refining, judging and adapting movements.
Encouraged to develop personal qualities of commitment, fairness and enthusiasm

There has been a traditional over emphasis on team games in Preparatory and Independent Senior Schools, and this can lead to an imbalance in overall physical development. Despite the importance of games, at Chigwell School every attempt is made to provide major components of a balanced programme.
