To enjoy healthy, active and fulfilling lives, children must learn to respond positively to challenges, be enterprising and handle risk and to develop self-confidence and physical capabilities.  This area of learning lays the foundations for long-term wellbeing and contributes to children's mental, social, emotional, economic and physical development.  it is central to their development as confident individuals.

Children learn about their changing bodies and the importance of nutrition and rest for a healthy, balanced lifestyle.  Through sport and other physical activities, they learn to increase body control, coordination and dexterity.

Children also learn about their responsibilities both as individuals and members of groups and teams.  They learn to cooperate and to compete fairly, understanding their own and others' roles.

As they become more confident, children develop a growing self-awareness and a commitment to self-improvement so they can make informed decisions that lead to happy and healthy lives.  They raise their aspirations, set goals and work to achieve them, seeing how this will influence their opportunities in education, leisure and in the world of work.
