Physical Education

At Fonthill Lodge School, we include a wide range of sporting activities with the view to enabling each individual to discover the sport for them. Our Games Curriculum is delivered through double lessons, taught by specialist teachers and coaches. The children have an opportunity to perform at Football, Netball, Hockey, Rugby, Tag Rugby, Rounders, Cricket and Swimming. As part of the P.E. curriculum, all children participate in Gymnastics, Dance and Athletics, on a termly rotation.


When appropriate, specialist coaches from outside agencies deliver lessons to enhance the learning experience, knowledge and understanding of the games.

We offer several other sporting activities as part of our extra curricular programme, such as Squash, Tennis and Golf.

All children are encouraged to participate in competitive inter-school matches in order to further develop their characters and prepare them for their future education.

 

We have close links with East Grinstead Sports Club (EGSCC). The children have the opportunity to regularly use their National League water based AstroTurf pitch and the brand new international standard Netball courts.

The children go on an annual Outdoor and Adventurous Activities camp at an established Outward Bounds Centre, where they take part in many different activities. Years 5 and 6 also experience an overnight camp at school, early in the academic year, which is an extremely valuable and fun experience.
