All children receive two PE lessons each week. Our PE lessons provide a comprehensive coverage of the skills and knowledge that children need to ensure the full coverage of the National Curriculum. One PE lesson for each class is led by the children's class teacher, the other is led by a specialist sports coach from PSD (Primary Sporting Development) with the support of the class teacher. This is to support the actions identified on our Sports Premium action plan. 

Our extensive facilities and grounds enable our children to develop a love for exercise and physical activity. With a large field, an indoor sports hall, an Astroturf pitch, two adventure playgrounds, an outdoor gym, two netball courts, a basketball court and various playground markings, our children are never short of space to take part in PE lessons. This spaces enables several classes to take part in PE lessons at the same time, ensuring we keep two hours of PE on our timetable for each class.

As well as PE lessons, Whiteheath has a very packed timetable of early morning, lunchtime and after school sports clubs. A full list of extra-curricular clubs can be found under the 'Parents' tab of this website. In addition to sports clubs, staff provide all children with the opportunity to participate in 'the daily mile' and we enter a multitude of competitions for multiple teams throughout the year. Whenever possible, we match the number of children wanting to participate in competitions to the number of teams we enter in to competitions, enabling a very large number of our children to represent the school.
