The PE department at Emirates National School offers its students a wide range of sports and swimming activities. They are given the opportunity to participate, understand, acquire skill, and enjoy sports so that they may be motivated to pursue these activities throughout their 'school lives' and beyond.

The structure of PE enables students to enjoy lessons and be able to take part at their own level whilst fulfilling their own potential. Furthermore the program encourages the students to extend themselves fully where appropriate.

Students are encouraged to work with others as part of a team, as well as focusing on their individual performances. Throughout the course students are made aware of the effect of exercise on the body, and the importance of physical exercise for their future health. Hygiene and taking responsibility for their kit are an important part of their social development.
