Sport

Our Sports Co-ordinator is Miss Hickson

At Bunbury we offer a broad, balanced and high-quality PE curriculum which supports children’s health and fitness and embeds values such as fairness and respect.

All classes receive 2, 1 hour PE lessons every week. Within these lessons, children cover the PE curriculum which includes: mastering movements including running, jumping, throwing and catching, developing flexibility, strength, balance, agility and co-ordination, and beginning to apply these in a range of activities. It also covers: participating in competitive, team games, performing dances and comparing performances in order to demonstrate improvement.

In Year 4, children also have swimming lessons over a 10 week period which teaches pupils to swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres, use a range of strokes effectively and perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.

We offer a range of opportunities to be involved in, and compete in, sport.

As a school, we are part of the Sandstone Partnership which hold many sporting fixtures and competitions (the majority of which are held at Tarporley High School) and we are also a member of the Crewe and Nantwich cluster which enables Bunbury to be involved in netball and football leagues during the school year. For these events, we appreciate lifts and support from parents to enable Bunbury to participate in these fixtures and competitions.

In addition to this, there are after school clubs which offer a variety of sports and these change throughout the year to provide the children with a more extensive choice of activities. Also, Mrs Walker runs a very popular weekly, lunch time netball club.

Throughout the year, Bunbury invites visitors into school with sporting talents to inspire the children to start or further their interest in sport. For instance, Sport 4 Champions’ Laura Samuel came into school to show and talk about her achievements as a GB triple jumper and take part in a sponsored circuit with the whole school. There are also local clubs which deliver training sessions to classes such as Gary Kelsall for handball and Deeside Ramblers hockey club.
