At Longtown Primary School, PE, school sport and physical activity are an important part of school life. We want every child to enjoy being active, discover new interests and develop the confidence and skills to take part. Through PE and sport, children strengthen their teamwork, independence and determination, putting our values of Respect, Responsibility and Resilience into practice.
We use our PE and Sport Premium funding to strengthen provision and create opportunities for children across the school. This includes:
- Providing specialist coaching during curriculum lessons to develop pupils’ skills and confidence.
- Supporting teachers to learn alongside specialist coaches, building their expertise and strengthening the teaching of PE.
- Widening access to extracurricular sports clubs and encouraging more children to participate.
- Developing playtime resources and activities that help children stay active and enjoy playing together.
- Supporting participation in inter-school competitions, tournaments and sporting events.
Alongside PE lessons, we offer a range of activities that give children opportunities to try something new, challenge themselves and represent Team LPS. We celebrate effort, progress and teamwork, helping children recognise that everyone can experience success in sport.
Our aim is to provide high-quality PE and inclusive sporting opportunities that inspire a lasting enjoyment of physical activity. By helping children develop healthy habits and positive attitudes towards exercise, we support their physical health, emotional wellbeing and readiness to learn.
