Norton Fitzwarren Church School is a 'Real PE' School

Our Vision with Real PE is that every child will have a positive relationship with physical activity for life.

For PE to be positive and inclusive for all.

Real PE is an approach that develops essential behaviours, physical literacy and thinking skills for every child.

As well as curriculum Real PE, we support our children's sporting development in a number of other ways.

Premier Sport Education visit Norton Fitzwarren every week to teach competitive sport units such as handball, tag rugby and cricket. The coaches also lead Golden Mile running sessions over the lunchtime break every week. In addition to this we have coaches on site to provide sporting after school club opportunities. For the academic year 2022-2023 we will be offering clubs three times per week.

Every child at Norton Fitzwarren has access to swimming coaching as part of our curriculum PE. Our swimming teaching sessions take place at King's College, Taunton.

PE Premium Funding:

Our school receives specific funding from the Government for Sports provision. Each year we create an action plan to show how we will use this at Norton.

Action plans

Keeping Active At Home

Physical activity and exercise can improve our health, make us feel better, give us more energy and reduce the risk of becoming unwell. In this time of increasing restrictions on our movement with Coronavirus, it is crucial we maintain levels of exercise (60 minutes a day is advised). Being active also releases natural endorphines which make us feel much happier. 

There are many ways we can keep fit at home with no equipment. You Tube has a plethora of content - but please supervise your child whilst they are using this platform. Here are some links to try and home. Click, play, workout, enjoy....

Active Norton!
