PE and Sport at Burpham

Welcome to the Burpham Primary School Sports and PE page. Here you will find out about our overall aims as a school and what we aim to achieve each year.  Below highlights why we are passionate about physical education, our PE policy and any updates regarding sporting events held throughout the course of each academic year. 

At Burpham, we try our best to ensure our children are given a wide range of sporting opportunities within their PE lessons making our lessons accessible to all. Each academic year, our topics taught in PE are reviewed to allow room for development across the years and new sporting opportunities given to our pupils.
