sporty schools
St Faith’s School
We see sport as very much a subject that should be enjoyed by all. Our main objective is to find a sport that each pupil can enjoy for not only their time at school but through their adult life. With this in mind, just like Maths or English, every child takes part in all aspects of the subject including on match days when all pupils (in Years 3 to 8) play without anyone ‘left behind’.
sAM WOODS - GOAL SETTING
So, it’s the new year and your parents will be setting New Years resolutions. We often think of these as goals, your parents might want to lose weight, exercise more or even something as simple as start a new hobby.
