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 Primary 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.

Here are a few photo's from our Year 5/6 Basketball Taster Session at Steyning Grammar School, Shooting Field Site
Well, what a Basketball tournament for us! Our two teams came 3rd and 1st!! They were all fantastic and didn't take a rest for over an hour!
'Our wonderful Year 6 mixed football team travelled over to Steyning Grammar School to take part in the first locality football taster of the year. They all played their hearts out, ending up unbeaten, winning the event and all without conceding a single goal - A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!'
