Drayton Community Infant School

Physical Education

DCIS children come into school below or at Age Related Expectation for social and emotional. After the Covid pandemic there is a concern that children will have been less active during lockdown. Our intent is to immerse them in a healthy and active curriculum in order to enable them to make rapid progress in their academic, physical, social and mental development.

PE Vision
