At Campsbourne School we provide the best possible opportunities for all children to be able to participate in sport and physical activity, both in and out of school, enabling them to lead healthy and physically active lifestyles.
We believe the benefits of this include;
- Increased physical competence,
- Raised self esteem and confidence
- Learning to compete in a range of age and ability related opportunities,
- Learning how to overcome obstacles and contend with a range of challenges, thinking for themselves and learning to be independent.
- Building resilience and emotional well-being
- Developing social, personal and leadership skills including empathy and respect for others
- Motivation and commitment to lead a physically active lifestyle including encouraging others to do the same
At KS1 we will deliver fundamental movement skills so that they can at least meet but in most cases exceed expectations. They will develop the building blocks and foundations to make good progress throughout their time at Campsbourne. We will do this through exploring a broad range of physical activities and challenges ensuring maximum participation and opportunity to effectively and individually use space and equipment.
At KS2 we will continue to develop fundamental skills through to more sport and activity specific skills. Children will be supported to improve their endurance, strength, flexibility and power over time. Our aim is to give all children the best opportunity to participate in whatever sport or activity they take a keen interest in, providing them with the tools and confidence necessary to perform at their full potential and enabled to achieve their personal best.
They will also develop an understanding of tactics, composition and choreography whilst performing skills and techniques supported by structured, well planned and differentiated lessons and learning activities. Children will also be encouraged to develop independent, decision making skills and those of commitment and leadership. Additionally children will be enabled to meet as appropriate the NC expectations for swimming and water safety.
The school has fantastic links with other schools in the borough providing opportunities to compete in external competitions and festivals.
Swimming – All children in key stage 2 receive swimming lessons on site. These take place every fortnight and ensure that children leave Campsbourne as confident swimmers. To see what children learn in each year group please click on the link below.
