School Games
We are delighted to share that we have been awarded, for a third time, the School Games Platinum Mark Award – the highest of sporting accolades!
Our PE and sport provision has been acknowledged as being extremely high quality and to be able to achieve this award we had to previously achieve Bronze, Silver and Gold Mark Awards. This has shown our commitment to physical activity and competitive school sport. This has been evidenced through our inclusive and exciting PE curriculum, the range of after-school clubs that we offer, our annual Sports Week and the number of competitions that we take part in each year.
Thank you to everyone that has supported our PE and sport provision.
Sports Experiences
At Junction Farm Primary School, we take pride in providing our children with as many sporting experiences as we can.
Sports Week
One of the highlights of our school year is Sports Week. Each year, the week focusses on an upcoming event that year such as The Olympics or The Commonwealth Games. We try to incorporate as many different sports as we can so that the children can experience and develop their skills and knowledge throughout.
In the past, children have experienced Ballroom and Latin Dancing, Fencing, Judo, Skateboarding, Climbing Walls, Royal Marine Circuit Training, Tennis, Pole Vault, Gymnastics and so many more. As well as these experiences, the children are provided with ‘Beat the Teacher’ challenges so everyday there is a new challenge to try.
Sports Leaders
At Junction Farm, we have designated sports leaders who use their knowledge and love of sport to complete activities at playtimes, as well as level 0 and 1 competitions. Each half term, the sports leaders run an intra school (level 1) competition for KS1 and KS2. During these competitions, the sports leaders teach and referee the sporting activity and then collaborate to decide a selection of children from each class to receive a certificate for showing one of the school games values; determination, respect, team work, passion, honesty and self-belief.
Daily 30 Minutes of Activity & Promotion of 30 Minutes Outside of School
Active Lessons
Children across school have moments in their day to access movement videos to copy and dance along to. Some of videos have been recorded by teachers or children in our school.
Club Links Board
Parents and children receive emails, letters and Facebook advertisements about out of school clubs that are on offer to the community.
Daily Mile
Each class across school in KS1 & KS2 has 10 minutes on the Daily Mile track each day.
Active Playtimes
Children have access to a range of equipment, level 0 competitions and sports leader led activities.
Inspirational Sports Speakers
At Junction Farm we think it is really important to ensure children have the experience to listen and meet inspirational sports people. This motivates children within their sport and opens up their knowledge to range of sports.
