Physical Development
Our vision for Physical Education at William Lilley:
Our children develop an understanding of the importance of exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle; including physical and mental health. Children have a progressive curriculum which builds on their gross and fine motor skills and builds into skills for Gymnastics, Games and Dance.
