The Department for Children, Schools and Families places as its primary aim the health and safety of all children and young people. By 2006 Wootton School had already achieved Healthy School status. When we were visited by the Ofsted Inspector in 2009 he observed:

Pupils show an excellent understanding of the benefits of good diet and exercise. The contents of their lunch boxes reflect their understanding of eating healthily. The school has a Healthy Schools Award and an Activemark in recognition of its good work in promoting healthy living. Pupils' good basic skills and excellent personal and social skills prepare them well for the next stage of their
education.

The well-planned personal, social and health education programme has a positive impact so that
pupils are developing very well personally.(Ofsted 2009)

The day begins with "Wake up and shake up" pictured above. There is daily PE and during the summer months all children have weekly swimming lessons at Radley College's pool. On a Saturday morning the Family Swimming Group means they can also improve their swimming skills and enjoy family fun time at the pool.

A wide range of sporting activities is also available out of school hours including gymnastics, judo, football and netball (high five).

Activities in the after school clubs such as art and craft, gymnastics, cycling, rugby
and cookery develop skills and interests and add greatly to pupils' enjoyment of school. Pupils
are well cared for in the breakfast club and the after school care and enjoy the wide range of
interesting activities. (Ofsted 2009)
