At New School Lyon, our commitment to education is not limited to classroom learning. We firmly believe that physical health and wellbeing play an essential role in our pupils' development. That's why we put sport and physical activity at the centre of our educational programme.
A holistic approach to education
Education is not just about maths and literature. It also includes pupils' mental and physical health. At New School Lyon, we take a holistic approach to education, recognising that physical wellbeing is inseparable from mental wellbeing. Sport and physical activity are powerful ways to promote a healthy, balanced life.
A variety of sports activities
We believe in the importance of giving our pupils choice when it comes to sports activities. That's why we offer a variety of options to suit each child's interests and talents. Our pupils can discover and develop their skills across many sporting fields.
The importance of cooperation
Sport also gives pupils opportunities to learn cooperation, teamwork, and respect for rules. These social skills are essential in everyday life, and we strengthen them through sports activities that encourage sharing, communication, and problem-solving.
A welcome break
Physical activities also play an important role in refreshing the mind. Active breaks between lessons allow pupils to stretch their legs, refresh themselves, and revitalise for the next lesson. This approach helps them maintain their energy and concentration throughout the day.
A life-long education
At New School Lyon, we teach our pupils that physical activity is not limited to school - it is an essential element of a healthy lifestyle that will accompany them throughout their lives. We encourage them to find activities they enjoy and stay active outside of school, helping to prevent health problems linked to a sedentary lifestyle.
A healthy future
By promoting sport and physical activity, we aim to prepare our pupils for a healthy future. We believe that active pupils are more likely to become active adults, which will positively impact their quality of life in the long term.
At New School Lyon, sport and health are core values. We are committed to encouraging an active, balanced lifestyle for our pupils, preparing them for a happy, healthy, and prosperous future.
