PE & SPORT
At Ewelme, we love being active and staying fit and healthy and our PE learning helps us with that. We have a large playing field for our PE lessons and active lunchtimes, plus access to Ewelme Village Hall for indoor activities such as gymnastics and dance. We also use Didcot Wave swimming pool for swimming lessons from Year 2 up to Year 6.
Each class have two PE lessons a week, one provided by their class teacher and one provided by a specialist PE teacher, Mrs Seymour.
