PE AND SPORT
PE is an important part of our school life. We encourage children to take part in a variety of sports to help them learn new skills, keep fit, build confidence and enjoy themselves. We are delighted that we are able to offer a selection of sporting opportunities for the children of Ashington CE School.
The children have two hours of PE per week during curriculum time. This includes lessons in dance, gymnastics, athletics and games such as netball, basketball, rounders, tennis and cricket. We ensure progression from EYFS through to KS2. Please see the 'All About' information for your class to know exactly what your child will be participating in. We also try to provide extra experiences like netball coaching, golf coaching and cricket to extend the opportunities the children are offered.
Throughout the year, children take part in taster sessions and tournaments run in the STARS (Storrington Rural Schools) locality. Those who take part in these events have been chosen for a range of reasons; it may be because they have shown a particular skill or talent in a certain area of PE. Alternatively, they may have been chosen to build confidence, self-esteem or collaboration skills. The taster sessions are, as the name suggests, a chance to experience a new skill. It is our aim to give all children a chance to take part in at least one extra-curricular sporting activity during their time at school.
Each term, there are a selection of after school clubs run by specialists that children have access to such as cricket, netball, dance, rounders and mulit sports.
Over the last couple of years the government has provided dedicated funding to schools to help improve the provision of PE and sport. To see what our funding has been used for please see the link to the PE grant.

Football Tournament held at ACES
STARS Cross Country Tournament
The cross country wasn't just about running for fun. The joy of it i found was that your team would support you when you are running. For example they would be giving you a water bottle and saying stuff like I am sponsoring you.
It was fun just running. It wasn't about winning it was about taking part.
Even people from other teams where helping like this one girl. She said imagine your favourite food and then pretend that you will not be able to have it for a year if you walked so that helped me push through a lot.

Duncan Goodhew Sports Event at Storrington First School
Some of our Year 5 children were lucky enough to be invited to spend the afternoon with Duncan Goodhew and other STARS children. They actively participated in Archery, Fencing, Handball and dance sessions. What a great time they had!
