At Belmont, we encourage our children to adopt a healthy lifestyle. One of the most important ways of doing this is through physical education. This subject can benefit the children in many ways: it raises self-esteem; teaches the importance of 'being a good sport'; raises competitiveness and allows children to plan, perform and evaluate their work. It also encourages teamwork as well as fairness and self-discipline.

Children in both key stages are taught dance, gymnastics and games.  Swimming lessons are also part of the curriculum and are held at Grantham Leisure Centre for which a financial contribution from parents is requested.  Specialist trainers will support your child to swim at least 25m by the time they leave Belmont School at the end of Year 6.    

The school has joined forces with Inspire+, a local non-profit making organisation.  This allows us access to professional coaches and high quality sports events and competitions.  We are proud holders of a gold ‘School Games Mark’ a government-led awards scheme to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community.
