PE & Sport in School 2025/2026
Year 6 PE and Sport leaders
Curriculum overview 2025/2026
Bikeability
All children in key stage 2 have access to Bikeability training through our School Sports Partnership.
They learn how to check that a bike is safe to ride; looking at (and checking) brakes, saddle height, tyre treads and whether they are fully pumped up.
They learn how to start and stop safely, progressing to signalling whilst riding with one hand, enabling them to indicate turning once riding on roads.
Once a child can demonstrate that they can handle their bike safely, they are taken out onto the roads, helping to prepare them to become independent riders in preparation for secondary school.
Cross Country
Key stage 2 children took part in a cross-country event at St. John Houghton School.
Boys and girls from Angelou and Rashford classes competed against children from local primary schools in their races. We were very proud when Arnon won the year 5/6 boys race. We are excited for him to attend the Derbyshire finals event in March 2026.
Year 1 and 2 children took part in a fun run where they enjoyed running for pleasure.
Athletics training
We welcomed Bob Boyd and Rich from Amber Valley Athletics Club into school to share with us what their club is all about and the different sports it offers. They spoke to the whole school during Collective Worship, and led a PE lesson with Rashford class afterwards. The children were able to try out a variety of athletic events, including standing long jump, shot putt, relay baton passing and a core balance activity.
The children had a fabulous lesson and as a result, one of our children joined the athletics club afterwards.
