P.E. and Sport Development

Physical Education is strength of the school. We employ two Sports Coaches who are fully trained in teaching the Primary Curriculum for Physical Education.

The children are taught 2 hours of P.E. each week and also have the opportunity to stay after school to attend clubs organised and delivered by E.S.A.

All Extended after school clubs organised by E.S.A. have to be paid for.

As part of the Thomas of Canterbury Partnership we link closely with Thomas Becket Secondary School and the three other Primary Schools in Northampton, engaging in competitive sports. We take our children to Unity College which is a short distance away, to use their swimming facilities. Our target is that all children should be able to swim 25 metres by the time they leave our Primary School.

KS2 children take part in local sporting events as and when opportunities arise. So far we have been very successful competing in ‘Tag Rugby’ organised by

We engaged the children in a sponsored timed football shoot that raised funds for the school for new sports equipment.
