SPORT

With specialist staff and on-site facilities including a full-size sports hall, multiple pitches, tennis courts and a heated pool, weekly PE lessons enhance the children’s coordination, skills, stamina and teamwork whilst games lessons and regular fixtures allow the children to compete in a wide range of traditional sports, including:

Athletics, basketball, cricket, cross country, dance, fitness, football for boys and girls, gymnastics, hockey skills, lacrosse, netball, rounders, rugby, swimming and tennis.

Lunchtime performance squads ensure that elite sports players are prepared to compete at district and national level competition. Equally, developing pupils are given extra encouragement and sessions where needed.

Sport forms a very important part of the curriculum; all children have a double period PE lesson each week. Disciplines are rotated on a half termly basis and include swimming, gymnastics and health related sport.

Year 3 and 4 enjoy one extended afternoon games session per week; Year 5 and 6 have two afternoon sessions per week in which traditional sports and match fixtures are played. Practice and fixtures may also run outside of this timetabled provision.

Our inclusive programme guarantees that every child will have the opportunity to represent the school in competitive fixtures.
