Break time

During break times, there is plenty of time to take part in meaningful activity, be it den building, ball games, climbing wall or hide-and-seek. 

Competitions

At Bletchingley Village Primary School, we are excited about the local schools being able to come together again for a competition. We love the challenge of competing and taking part! We join other local schools for District Sports, Rounders and Football competitions.

Extra-Curricular Clubs

At the end of the school day, there are a number of sporting clubs that run for KS1 and KS2, so they can continue the skills development. Football, Rugby Tots and Gymnastics run each week for all children.

Gymnastics

Our school is lucky enough to have outside support from “High Vaultage” coach, Chris Bower. Chris takes the children’s gymnastic abilities to new heights, with most children across the school achieving well above their expected skills. As they achieve things they didn’t think possible, the confidence that the children develop is amazing to see!

Movement in Class

The movement continues within the classes, with each class having access to the ‘Jump Start Johnny’ website, which gets the children up and moving, helps them to wake up their brains and shake themselves into the learning mode. Classes are also able to complete Mile-a-Day which involves running for a sustained period of time. This helps improve stamina and resilience whilst the children get some fresh air!

PE

At Bletchingley Village Primary School, the children learn the rules of different sporting games and activities whilst developing their control and tactics. Hockey, Basketball, Football, Rounders and Athletics are just some of the games that children are taught.

Sports Day

It wouldn’t be a Primary School without Sports Day! The children work together in a range of athletic, gymnastic and stamina based activities to earn Team Points. There is a carousel of events before the traditional running races- which the children (and parents!) all seem to enjoy. 

Swimming

Did you know that drowning is the third largest cause of death in children under 16? Here at Bletchingley Village Primary School we understand that swimming isn’t just a skill – it is a lifesaving necessity. The children in the targeted year group will have lessons with a qualified swimming instructor until they meet the end of Key Stage expectations. These include swimming 25m, floating and treading water.
