All children in key stage 2 receive 2 hours quality PE per week, children in key stage 1 receive an average of 1.5 hours. This can go up by an additional 2 hours per week with extra curricular activities. 70% of children in years 4-6 participate in an extra curricular sporting activity with 30% taking part in two or more clubs.
