Although we are small school , we aim to offer a wide range of sports and offer the children opportunities to compete within the school and with other local schools in the area. We use both our own school site and the much larger grounds of our partner school in the nearby village of Martin.

Implementation

The school works with Carres School sports outreach to train staff and deliver an extensive enrichment programmme. We have a dedicated sport TA who works alongside this staff member to deliver PE, after-school clubs and interschool competitions.

Staff offer children a second follow-up PE lesson later in the week, developing skills further. 

We also offer children's golf sessions run by professionals from the National Golf Centre at Woodhall Spa. When possible, children take part in lessons at the golf centre, but during the last two years, coaches have worked with children on site.

Children take part in Federation cross-country events at Martin, and we also use their field for orienteering activities.

Swimming takes place at the Little Leisure Centre at Nocton Estate; all children get at least a term of swimming during the year.

Small School League

Children participate in inter-school matches with schools from the local small schools league. In the last few years we have had very small KS2 classes so the opportunities to compete competitively have been limited. Classes now allow us to field teams again, so we are looking forward to competing more competitively again.

School Sports Leaders work with staff to run lunch time sports activities, sports day and intra school competitions such as house hockey and football tournaments.

Schools Sports Award

The school has achieved the gold sport award for the last three years.
