PHYSICAL EDUCATION

P.E LEADS: MR BRADBURY & MISS BARBER

“A high-quality physical education curriculum inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities. It should provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. Opportunities to compete in sport and other activities build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect.”

At Haslington Primary Academy and Nursery, we aim to offer a broad range of sporting activities with the aim of getting every pupil active and enjoying sport. Lessons are delivered every week to each class and are structured around building the skills needed to play and enhance their participation in certain sports.

WHAT WE DO

Ministry 4 Sport are a local sports provider who have a vast amount of experience teaching primary school children in and out of an educational setting and are well equipped to deliver the best coaching they can. Mr Bradbury, our designated sports coach, is passionate about developing and enhancing the skills and engagement of our pupils.

Children are assessed on a half termly basis by Mr Bradbury and from these assessments we can evaluate the provision in school and make sure we are adapting to the needs of our children.

We offer many sports after school clubs throughout the school year and participate in competitions within the local Sandbach cluster and across the Trust and as part of the Crewe and Nantwich School Sport Partnership. All information for these will be communicated in advance to parents via Dojo and letter.

We have a very large field at the back of the school where most of our sports take place, but also a large tarmac marked pitch that we also make use of. We also have a state-of-the-art outdoor gym area which pupils are able to use during the school day to increase activity and fitness. This outdoor gym area was very kindly funded and supported by our ‘Friends of Haslington School’ (FOHS) who raised a huge amount of money to have this built in the school. We are grateful for all support that FOHS give our school.

We recognise the importance of sport in children’s lives and are proud to offer an extensive of range of sporting activities.
