Vision Statement

At Thorogate School we value the role that active life styles play in child development. We believe in providing active classrooms, playgrounds and after school opportunities; whilst acknowledging that there are times when children need to be less active to work productively.

We have welcomed the Government's Sports Premium and this contributes towards Thorogate delivering a high quality PE provision via a full time PE Coach.    

Physical Education: To increase standard of all children in PE.

• all classes receive 2 x 1 hr PE lessons a week (Y2 - Y6 pupils miss 1 lesson every two weeks for small group academic coaching)

• school follows a set curriculum to ensure all children participate in a variety of activities

• there is regular assessment to track progression.

Healthy Active Lifestyles: To increase activity levels at break and lunch times.
