Physical Education

At AIM North London, our vision for Physical Education is to instil a passion for physical activity in our students that is underpinned by the knowledge and understanding they require to go on to build informed and positive healthy lifestyle habits in sport and exercise upon leaving secondary education. 

We take a holistic viewpoint and encourage our students to build positive connections between physical activity and mental health.
