Our amazing football teams (both girls and boys) are very experienced and go to many tournaments, including playing at Brentford Stadium, Tottenham and Arsenal training grounds. I have made so many lovely friendships in our football team. Our incredible sports coaches have taught us so much! Tess Yr 6

We ensure a high quality physical education curriculum that inspires all children to succeed in sporting activities and enables them to become physically confident in a way that supports their health and fitness. Opportunities to develop competence and excel in a broad range of physical activities including competing in a range of sports, build the attitudes, skills and knowledge that teach children how to cooperate with others as well as understand fairness, respect and equality of play. For many children, memorable experiences are created as part of our school sports teams and successful participation in local league and inter school sports competitions. Our Curriculum Drivers of growth mindset, community, environment and language development shape every aspect of PE, are embedded in teaching and learning and develop the child as a whole.

Children apply and develop a broad range of skills, learning how to use them in different ways. They communicate, collaborate and compete with each other, develop an understanding of how to improve in different physical activities, achieve their personal best and recognise their own success. These skills include running, jumping, throwing and catching in isolation and in combination, playing competitive games such as basketball, cricket, football, hockey, netball, rounders and tennis, as well as developing flexibility, strength, technique, control and balance through athletics, gymnastics and dance.

In addition, children in Year 4 are taught to swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres, use a range of strokes effectively and perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.

We have a massive field with an 80 metre track and a 200 metre track and alongside that we have two football pitches. We have a variety of sports equipment and extremely experienced coaches, so our PE sessions are always great! The sports coaches arrange many different sporting tournaments that we can take part in after school, so there are lots of opportunities here at Grange Park! James Yr6
