Playground equipment includes an outside gym, climbing frames, swings, trampolines, trim trail, outside bikes and scooters and an Activall multi-sensory reaction board. Midday supervisors set up a range of different activities each lunchtime and staff actively encourage pupils to appropriately use the equipment and play a variety of playground games and sports.
Physical activity is encouraged at playtimes, lunchtimes and golden times. This includes a weekly whole school football match during Friday’s golden time.
