Although broadly Christian in nature, opportunities will be given to explore other religious beliefs. Parents will be given opportunity to express their wishes and students may be withdrawn from acts of collective worship. A full-time Physical Education teacher works across the education and care settings monitoring leisure activities and leads individual programmes for each student, combining fitness training with skill and sports training. P.E. is taught within the well-equipped school hall and using local sports facilities. The nearby Tarka Trail provides a safe cycle way where students can use a variety of school bicycles and tandems to develop their fitness.
All students have opportunities to attend local swimming pools weekly.
Back to the top Personal , Social and Health Education Personal, Social and Health Education is seen as an important core element in Broomhayes School. The school recognises that pupils with autism have a range of emotions, feelings and needs and, like all pupils, have equal entitlement to sex education. The planning of the sex education component is tailored not only to the age but also to the understanding of the individual and is broad in both concept and content leading to a greater understanding by the pupil. Parents will be fully involved in sex education planning for their child. In accordance with the relevant legislation, Annual Educational Reviews are held at Broomhayes.
