Physical Education at Lilleshall

At Lilleshall Primary School, we give pupils a broad and balanced curriculum of physical activities including gymnastics, dance, athletics, games and swimming. We aim to make sport enjoyable and accessible to all children regardless of ability and gender. Whatever the pursuit, sport supports essential team building skills and helps to maintain fitness and vigour, self-esteem and confidence. We aim to provide two hours of curriculum PE a week and are fortunate in having a large games field and hall furnished with wall bars, gymnastics apparatus and mats.

We provide swimming for Years 3, 4, 5 & 6 and pupils also learn about safety in the water. Children in Year 6 have the opportunity to attend an annual residential visit to Arthog Outdoor Educational Centre, where they take part in outdoor and adventurous activities, which are organised and supervised by qualified members of site staff. We also provide a variety of opportunities to attend sporting afterschool clubs. Previously, we have offered a range of clubs including: football, netball, tennis, running, New Age kurling, boccia and many more!

School Sports Games Mark

We are extremely proud to have been awarded the highest award available - Platinum in the School Games Mark, this is the third time this has been achieved. Together we have worked very hard to achieve this award. Through this award, children are given the opportunity to compete in a range of different sports representing Lilleshall Primary School.

“The School Games Mark is a government led awards scheme launched in 2012 to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community.”

Energise   -  Youth Voice

With funding from Sport England, later this year we are running two Commonwealth Games celebration events on the 12^th and 13^th July for Primary and Secondary Schools. We want to ensure we give a 'youth voice' to all all our planning for these events so we have linked with 6 Primary and 4 Secondary Schools across the County to get ideas from the pupils. We have worked with 86 children from student councils and sports leader groups from the following schools:

Primary

• Trinity Primary School
• Castlefields Primary School (pictured above)
• Lilleshall Primary School
• Longlands Primary School
• St Lawrence Primary School
• Wrockwardine Wood Primary School

We have concentrated on the Commonwealth Games Values and how we can embed these into our events with the support of the youth voice work we have done. As a reward, these pupils will all be coming along to the events as helpers to offer their support on the day and see some of their plans live in action!
