Sports

We offer rich provision for Physical Education

Not only do we plan our curriculum carefully so that children gradually learn a range of skills but we also encourage them to access a range of different sporting activities both within school and outside. Throughout the year we take part in and host a wide variety of school sports competitions and festivals.

Every child is put into a colour team and takes part in competitions linked to the PE curriculum.
Sports teams take part in inter school sports competitions and festivals throughout the year. Listed below are the events in which we participate.

Children also have the opportunity to participate in different sports on and off site such as cheerleading, river walking, camping, outdoor adventure, rock climbing, bike ability and archery.

Our PE curriculum links to many of our educational visits.  Within the first week of term in September, classes from Year 1 to Year 6 undertake a coach journey to engage in a full day of team building activities off-site which is fully funded by the school.  This opportunity permits all children and staff to get to know each other in their new ‘class team’. Additionally, children in KS2 visit Exeter Chiefs rugby stadium to train alongside them and then watch a professional match.

Swimming Lessons

Each KS2 class has swimming lessons for a term.  We ask for a contribution towards the cost of hiring Huish Leisure and their instructors/life guards.  We do need at least two volunteers to help walk the children to and from the pool – without volunteers, this activity may not be possible.
