Sports Premium Funding
At Barham we believe that physical education provides a vital and unique contribution to a pupil’s physical and emotional development. Our vision for PE and Sport is to provide high quality PE and Sport for all children in school. We aim to provide both competitive opportunities for extra-curricular sport and well planned and delivered PE lessons, which develop a love of sport for all children and an understanding of the importance of exercise in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
We have a long tradition of sporting excellence and pupils have represented the country in dance, gymnastics and golf.
We are proud of the current PE curriculum provision at our school, which includes an annual dance festival and sports week - this is a whole week dedicated to giving children opportunities to take part in physical activity as well as introducing pupils to new sports such as Ultimate Frisbee and Triathlon
Barham has its own swimming pool which enables all our pupils from reception through to Year 6 to have regular swimming lessons. In addition to the two hours of PE a week, all classes take part in ten minutes of daily physical activity.
We provide all of our Year 6 pupils with a residential experience and the opportunity to participate in adventurous activities such as wall climbing, high ropes and dry-slope skiing.
Clubs over the last two years have included: Football, Girls football, Dodge ball, Fitness Fun, Splash Club (Swimming), Cross-country, , Basketball/netball, Gymnastics, Multi-skills, Outdoor games, Rugby, Dance, Cricket, Ultimate Frisbee and Rounders.
In addition, to the clubs mentioned above, we run a Young Leaders program for our Year 6 pupils who lead lunchtime activities in the summer term for our younger pupils.
Yoga and Forest School take place every year for different year groups so that every child will experience these sessions by the time they leave school.
