Physical Education school trip ideas for primary schools

P.E. is a prime area of focus in primary schools, which we think is fantastic! The physical education opportunities available are opened up with the increased sports premium funding that all schools receive, so children have access to more sports than ever before. 

P.E. has physical, mental and emotional benefits. The physical and health benefits of exercise are clear, and P.E. also teaches so-called ‘soft’ skills such as leadership, teamwork, co-operation, fairness, respect and communication. Exercise also increases productivity, helps children to concentrate, relieves stress or anxiety, and has mental health benefits. Research has even shown that pupils who regularly exercise are happier.

So surely more exercise will help pupils in other lessons, too – and a physical education school trip is just the ticket. A day jam-packed with activity can help your primary school pupils become more physically confident and healthy, and learn to work together as a team. Your school’s sports premium funding can even be used to support subsiding P.E. school trips.
