At Albany Infants, we believe that physical activity not only improves health, reduces stress and improves concentration, but also promotes correct physical growth and development. Exercise has a positive influence on academic achievement, emotional stability and interaction with others. 

Through a rich and broad curriculum, we aspire to give our children several opportunities to try new activities and excel in all aspects of PE.  By participating in sport and other physical activities, our children will learn about their responsibilities both as individuals and members of groups and teams. They will learn to cooperate and to compete fairly, understanding their own and other children's roles. 

Our aim is that through physical education we can teach and develop physical competence, an appreciation of skilled and creative performances, an understanding of basic principles of ‘fair play’ and improve interpersonal skills. 

Sports Premium

The Primary PE and Sport Premium was introduced to improve the provision of physical education and school sport in primary schools across England. The funding is allocated directly to primary schools and is ring-fenced. This means it may only be spent on improving the provision of PE and sport in schools.
