PE

"I've missed 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times I've been trusted to take the winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed" (Michael Jordan)

PE stands for Physical Education and is an important and valued part of our school curriculum. PE helps our children develop their physical fitness. As part of this they learn that it is highly important to include exercise and physical activity as part of their lifestyle. Likewise, they also learn how to stretch their physical capacities, enhance their stamina as well as strengthen their muscles.

PE also helps our children develop teamwork and sportsmanship.  Children are encouraged to display our 5 Core Values through their participation in sport.

We work closely with Xcite Sports and Fitness company. Please click on the link below to view their website,

Key Stage 2 Cross Country Competition - Thursday 10th October 2019

Keepmoat Stadium

Twenty children from across Key Stage 2 represented the school in the Doncaster School Games Cross Country competition at the Keepmoat Stadium. The children competed in the following categories:

• Year 3/4 Girls
• Year 3/4 Boys
• Year 5/6 Girls
• Year 5/6 Boys

The children raced against almost 140 children. The children raced independently but their scores were combined to make a team total. Where they finished in their race was their score and the lowest overall score won. Each team had 4/5 children in. The results are below:

Year 3/4 Girls

Joint 10th out of 29 teams. 

Year 3/4 Boys

11th out of 31 teams. 

Year 5/6 Boys

15th out of 33 teams.

Year 5/6 Girls

6th out of 32 teams. 

The top 5 teams qualified for the South Yorkshire finals so the Year 5/6 girls just missed out of qualification. All the children ran to the best of their ability and we were all so proud of their ambition and perseverance throughout our first Cross Country competition.
