Policy
The cornerstone of the CAS framework is establishing whole-school practice and ethos for physical activity - the underlying sentiment that informs the beliefs, customs and practices around creating a physically active school.
The relevant policy and key performance indicators specifically linked to this section are:
- KPI 2 - Profile of PE and Sport is raised across the school as a tool for whole school improvement
- SS3 - All sport and physical activity provision is designed around the principles of physical literacy, focusing on fun and enjoyment and aims to reach the least active.
