We are a
small school and therefore we aim to encourage every child to participate enthusiastically
in a variety of sporting activities. We encourage various sports which promote team
ethics. The sports teams of football, netball, cricket, rounders, athletics and swimming
are aimed at Key Stage 2 children.
The provision
for outdoor games at school is inadequate, we are therefore fortunate to have the local
football pitch and sports hall at our disposal.
As well as
studying games as a subject in the National Curriculum we also offer extra curricular
coaching in football, and netball through the year and athletics
and rounders in the summer months. Mrs S. Draper is a member of the Welsh Schools Netball
Association, and is our netball coach.
We are very
successful in most competitions we enter. We are the current holders of the Small Schools
Swimming Trophy and runners up for the Small Schools Athletics Trophy.
We rely on
all the children wishing to participate in these sports, which give them a sense of pride
and enormous confidence in their abilities.
We have
excellent small resources for all the sports we cover together with very smart team
strips.
This year we have employed a specialist P.E. coach to assist with Physical Education in Key Stage 2.
