Physical Education Vision
Our vision is to deliver a curriculum that promotes participation, enjoyment and a love of physical activity and exercise. We aim for students to understand the importance of physical fitness and how this can benefit their musical performance and studies.
At The Purcell School we aim to offer a balanced and varied curriculum that allows all pupils to achieve and enjoy PE. We aim to provide character building and leadership opportunities, ensuring standards develop their knowledge and understanding of the importance of health and well-being, supporting pupils to enthusiastically take an interest in leading an active lifestyle alongside their musical commitments and studies.
