PE Assessment at Kings Meadow
Kings Meadow's School Games Awards
Additional Information
Physical Education in Kings Meadow, which is a minimum of two hours a week, provides children with the opportunity to develop their co-ordination, skills, teamwork and confidence through gymnastics, dance, outdoor activities and games. Children in Year 5, 4 and 3 also go swimming, throughout the school year, for a term each.
We are delighted to announce that we have obtained the Gold School Games award for 2022/23! This is a reward for the commitment to the development of sport and competition across the school.
Sports Leaders
All children in Year 6 have had play maker training in which they learnt to make up games for younger children and lead them in different activities.
At lunchtimes, the children in Year 6 set up games and activities for the younger children in order to help them develop sports skills as well as teamwork. This is a great way for the older children to develop their leadership skills which will be useful when they attend secondary school!
SCHOOL GAMES GOLD AWARD!
We are delighted to announce that we have achieved Gold in the School Games Mark for the sixth year running! The School Games Mark is a Government led awards scheme which reward schools for their commitment to the development of PE, sport and competition across their school. Some of the criteria included:
The number of hours of planned PE within curriculum time
The extra-curricular sports activities
Involvement in inter-school and intra-school competition
Developing Sports Leaders
Links with external clubs
Providing opportunities to attract less active young people to participate in physical activity
Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to another year of PE & sport!
Sports Day
Congratulations to Storey House who won the house shield for Sports Day in May 2023!
Houses
At Kings Meadow, we have a house system into the school to enhance PE as well as enabling children to bond with other year groups. As a school, we voted on British sporting heroes and the winners were chosen as the house names. These were: Sir Mo Farah, Sir Andy Murray, Sir Steve Redgrave and Dame Sarah Storey.
Every Thursday, during PE lessons, children from Reception to Year 6 compete against other houses in team games as well as showing individual skills.
The children have really enjoyed being in their houses which has enhanced their PE lessons as well as a sense of belonging to a team. They are looking forward to competing in their teams at Sports Day!
