🏃 PE

At Cottesbrooke, all children from Reception to Year 2 take part in weekly PE lessons, developing physical skills, coordination, teamwork and a love of being active.

To make things easier for families and staff, we ask that children come to school already dressed in their PE kit on their PE day.

🧥 What to Wear on PE Days

Children should wear:

• A plain white T-shirt

• Black or navy shorts, black leggings, or black/grey tracksuit bottoms

• Their red school jumper or cardigan (optional, for warmth)

• Black PE pumps (not trainers)

Please avoid jeans, designer sportswear or fashion items, and ensure headscarves are removed for safety.

👟 Footwear

• Black PE pumps should be worn on PE days

• Named pumps in a named bag may be left in school for additional PE sessions or activities

🧼 Safety Reminders

To keep everyone safe during physical activity:

• No jewellery, including earrings

• Long hair should be tied back

🚶 Daily Mile

In addition to PE lessons, classes are encouraged to take part in the Daily Mile as often as possible. This is a simple, fun way for children to run, jog or walk one mile around the playground — usually done in their regular school uniform.
