Physical Education at Castleton
At Castleton Primary School, we believe that physical education is a vital part of every child’s development. PE not only supports physical fitness but also promotes social, cognitive, creative, and personal growth. Our aim is to inspire all pupils to enjoy being active, develop essential movement skills, and understand the importance of leading a healthy, active lifestyle.

Our PE curriculum offers a wide variety of activities designed to build fundamental skills in movement, including gymnastics, dance, swimming, and a broad range of games such as football, dodgeball, and tag rugby. Through these activities, children learn to work collaboratively, persevere through challenges, and develop qualities such as resilience, honesty, and sportsmanship.

We are proud to work closely with the Leeds Rhinos Foundation and the Leeds Well School Partnership, giving our pupils access to specialist coaching, inclusive sports programs, and unique opportunities to develop teamwork, resilience, and a love of physical activity. These partnerships enrich our curriculum and provide exciting experiences both in school and in the wider community.

Beyond the curriculum, pupils at Castleton have many opportunities to put their skills into practice. We run intra-school competitions that allow children to apply their learning in a friendly, supportive environment. Additionally, a wide variety of after-school clubs provide further opportunities to explore different sports and activities. As part of our local school cluster, we regularly participate in inter-school competitions in sports such as football, netball, athletics, and tag rugby, giving children the chance to challenge themselves and represent their school with pride.

At Castleton, we aim to create confident, active, and healthy young people who enjoy movement, embrace teamwork, and value the role of physical activity in everyday life.
