Physical Education Shines Brightly at Stelling Minnis
At Stelling Minnis, we believe physical development is fundamental to overall wellbeing and learning. Our inclusive approach ensures every child is supported to develop confidence in their physical abilities, work as part of a team, and lead an active, healthy lifestyle.
Our Physical Education curriculum is designed to nurture confident, active, and resilient learners through a rich and varied programme. Led by a qualified PE teacher, pupils benefit from high-quality teaching that develops both fundamental skills and a lifelong love of physical activity.
We provide a wide range of opportunities including specialist workshops, after-school clubs, and participation in local competitions, ensuring all children can engage, challenge themselves, and experience success.
Our unique rural setting enhances physical development even further. Through Farm School and Forest School, pupils build strength, stamina, and independence in meaningful, real-life contexts—whether climbing, carrying, digging, or exploring natural environments. In addition, we embed opportunities for “heavy work” and physical regulation into daily play, with activities such as tyre lifting, sweeping, and transporting resources in the playground supporting children’s sensory and motor development, including those with additional needs.
