Physical Education
Why do we study PE?
Physical Education at Mangotsfield School aims for students to develop a passion for physical activity/sport that will continue into lifelong commitment to maintaining physical and mental health. By developing our students' practical and theoretical understanding of living a healthy lifestyle, Mangotsfield Students will become healthy citizens who make positive contributions to their community. They will develop personal qualities such as resilience and respect; through active participation and personal experience. We want to challenge students to become ambitious, seek out opportunity and embrace competition both within school and the wider sporting community. Leadership traits will be encouraged and will thrive in a supportive and inclusive environment that celebrates success. Physical education is the subject that makes your heart race!
