Sport and Health Sciences

Sport and Health Sciences at Edison Primary helps children understand how their bodies work and how to make healthy choices through physical activity. We encourage pupils to enjoy movement, build confidence, and learn the importance of warming up, cooling down, and looking after their energy levels. Through age-appropriate lessons, children develop basic knowledge about fitness, wellbeing, and the role of regular exercise in everyday life.

Our approach supports children’s health in practical ways. Pupils learn about balanced routines that include active play, healthy eating, hydration, and sufficient sleep. They also explore how feelings and focus can change with different activities, helping them recognise what their bodies need to stay safe and comfortable. Parents can feel reassured that lessons are designed to be inclusive, encouraging participation and positive attitudes for all abilities.

Sport and Health Sciences at Edison Primary also develops skills beyond physical fitness. Children practise teamwork, respect, communication, and fair play, using sport as a context for learning. We aim to build lifelong habits by teaching children how to set simple goals, reflect on progress, and make sensible decisions. If your child enjoys sports or is simply curious about staying healthy, this subject offers a supportive foundation for a strong and active future.
