Taking Part in Trust-Wide Sports Competitions

At Inspiration Trust we pride ourselves on our sports provision which not only includes a nationally-recognised sports curriculum, but includes half-termly Trust-wide sports competitions.

These competitions include football, athletics and dodgeball, and sees us working in partnership with brilliant local organisations such as the UEA Sportspark and The Nest in order to offer our students the very best facilities in which to compete. The atmosphere at these events is always described as electric!

Through taking part in sporting competitions our students are given the chance to shine outside of the classroom and learn vital skills such as the importance of team work, determination, patience and perseverance.

Primary Olympiads

All pupils have the opportunity to be involved in our Trust-wide Olympiads. These see pupils compete in competitions within their favourite subjects, allowing them to shine in areas where they are gifted.

One of our strategic aims is to ensure each and every child fulfils their potential. We believe this potential is not only reached through academic success, but through wider opportunities such as competitive programmes.

It is also proven that taking part in sport encourages higher standards of achievement, improves cognitive function and improves overall wellbeing through having fun and making friendships. Whilst outstanding sports provision is often overlooked within the state sector, all of us at Stradbroke Primary Academy believe it is a core part of what every pupil should expect from their time in education and we are proud to deliver that.

Our Olympiads cover everything from Maths and Modern Foreign Languages through to Geography and Computer Science. They help children learn about teamwork and morals, and offer a fun, alternative way to explore the subjects they love.

Our Uniform School Meals

At Stradbroke Primary Academy, all pupils in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a free school lunch.

We still ask that parents complete the free school meals application form if in receipt of benefits as this adds several thousand pounds funding per child to the money we have to spend on your child’s education.

Our school canteen provides a healthy, balanced menu, or parents can send their child with a balanced, healthy packed lunch.

We believe that school uniform promotes the ethos of our school, and helps set an appropriate tone for education.

All children should wear clothing that is in keeping with a purpose and an aspirational learning environment. We want children at Stradbroke Primary Academy to take immense pride in their dress, behaviour and learning.

You can order your uniform from our supplier, Harrisons Schoolwear. Our uniform includes:

There was such a calm attitude across the school and pupils were polite and looked so happy! The school is beautiful and I can see that such care has been taken to create a welcoming, purposeful environment. Every member of staff welcomed me with such warmth, it was a real pleasure to visit.
