This aspect of the curriculum is about improving skills of coordination, control, manipulation and movement. Physical development has two other very important aspects; it helps children gain confidence in what they can do and enables them to feel the positive benefits of being healthy and active. At Clifton High, to give children the best opportunities for physical development, activities involve the imaginative use of a wide range of equipment, the language of movement is introduced immediately, independence is nurtured and time, support and encouragement are given to all children.
