We have utilised our sports premium to supply every child with a PE kit to ensure every one can take part in school PE and so that we can wear our Oakthorpe badge with pride when we represent the school in competitions. We supply the T shirt and shorts and replace these when bigger sizes are needed as children move through the school. We also supply a PE bag. The only part that parents must provide is a pair of trainers suitable for outdoor sports. 

We have worked really hard over the last three years to promote more sports to more children across the school. We have had many specialists come into school to hold taster sessions in different sports such as hockey and judo, some of which have led to children joining after-school clubs and clubs in the local community. We are proud to have been awarded the GOLD School Games Mark for the last 5 years!! 

At Oakthorpe our PE curriculum is taught by a mixture of specialist sports coaches and class teachers following the Get Set 4 PE programme. Additional to their 2 hours of PE every week, we hold an alternative sports days which provides the children with experiences in different sports such as scootering, zorbing and new age kurling as well as the more traditional sports.

What do the children say about sport at Oakthorpe?

“We have learnt lots of skills in hockey this year and had the chance to play lots of matches to get better.”

“We find the alternative sports days really fun”

“Having Leicester Ryders Basketball team in was amazing!”
