Physical activity contributes significantly to both the general well-being of girls and their ability to perform academically. We want our girls to understand the importance of being fit, not just at school but fit for life - so that when they leave us they are ready to cope physically and mentally with the stresses of modern life. This means at school we not only provide them with a range of opportunities to be physically active, but also teach them the importance of physical activity and encourage them to view engaging in sport as part of a balanced lifestyle.
