PE - Physical Education
Sport, health and fitness is an integral part of every student’s development, well-being and education. Sport is not just about physical excellence, it develops the whole person and provides a platform to build a well rounded young person.
At Cobham Free School we seek to inspire students of all levels of experience to empower themselves to enjoy sport, to seek excellence and to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Our talented staff and strong links with dedicated local coaching teams enable us to strive to create the best possible environment for pupils to learn and progress across a wide variety of sports. By generating a positive ethos within sport, health and fitness we aim to develop life skills and promote a lifetime involvement in sport and physical activity.
