Spring 1 update

Some children in Year 2 have taken part in a multi-sports event where they had the opportunity to try different traditional sports. 

Autumn 2 update

We have had a great start to Autumn 2 with Year 5 and 6 girls taking part in a Football tournament where they came fourth. 14 children in Year 6 also represented the school in a Cross Country with some brilliant results - some children have even qualified for the next stage of competition! Year 6 Spots Crew have also helped organise and put on an autumnal sensory walk for younger pupils. Finally, some children in LKS2 were lucky enough to take part in a Kho-Kho event. 

Autumn 1 update. 

We've been keen to stay fit and active this term and have enjoyed a range of sports during our PE lessons. In 6CJ, the children have had sessions with Kidderminster Harriers  focusing on a healthy lifestyle and Year 5 have been swimming weekly. 

We've also competed in various 'house' school competitions (tag rugby and football) and it's close between each of the houses with Redgrave taking the win this half term. 

This half term we have taken parts in lots of different sports: Year 2 have taken part in a multi-skills festival, boys in Years 5 and 6 have taken part in an after-school football league where we came second, some children in LSK2 have taken part in a Tag Rugby tournament and some children in Years 4 and 5 had a go at Volleyball .  Year 6 have also enjoyed learning to be Play Leaders and set up daily activities for KS1 on the playground. 

Sporting opportunities are actively encouraged and developed at Comberton and our children participate in weekly lessons, coaching sessions, after school clubs and a range of competitions. Our school PE and sport development priorities are based on our school context and identified pupil need. These include:

• the engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – the Chief Medical Officer guidelines recommend that all children and young people aged 5 to 18 engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day, of which 30 minutes should be in school
• the profile of PE and sport is raised across the school as a tool for whole-school improvement
• increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport
• broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils
• increased participation in competitive sport

School Sport Funding: 

"The government provides funding of £320 million per annum to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. This funding - provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport - will be allocated to primary school head teachers. This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.

Schools with 17 or more eligible pupils receive £16,000 and an additional payment of £10 per pupil.

Please look at the attached documents that explain how much funding we have received, how we are spending it and what impact it is having on our school. This is a working document, so will be changing throughout the year. 

Sports Mark—Platinum!

We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded the School Games Platinum Award. This award recognises the sporting opportunities provided by the school through a variety of different ways: after school clubs; house and inter-school  competitions; activities provided at break and lunchtimes as well as offering staff training.
