The national curriculum for physical education aims to ensure that all pupils:
Our children at Bransty Primary School really enjoy PE and keeping fit. We all participate in a range of PE activities throughout the week, including PE sessions in class and gymnastics and swimming. Children from Year 1 to Year 6 take part in swimming and from Reception to Year 1 for gymnastics. We encourage children participating in a mile a day on the playground to collect certificates as they pass milestones. We are very keen on taking part in County sporting events such as our tournaments, walk 2 school week and the Big Pedal.

At Bransty Primary School we encourage PE and Sport throughout the curriculum including lunch time provision. We have a range of activities running throughout dinner time to keep all children motivated, engaged, fit and healthy. An example of this is our circuit activity where children compete against each other to have the fastest time.
At Bransty School we all take part in a wonderful sport’s day event every June. We all take part in team races, a carousel of activities and a big lunch with all of our families. We have so much fun and often the weather works out for the best!
Every day our children take part in completing a mile. We can complete this however we like. We track it on our own charts and receive certificates when we pass by milestones.
This year we have taken part in a range of charity sporting events such as Sport Relief. We all completed and mile a day and a range of activities throughout the week to keep us active and fit. We raised a huge amount totalling- £1250! Well done to everyone who helped this happen!!
Each year our school takes part in Wheelchair basketball with the county organisation. They come in and talk to us about the sport and encourage our children to take part in different activities in the wheelchair. Our children absolutely love this sport and get very competitive.
Our Year 1 and 2 class has recently took part in a dance festival at the Carnegie in Workington. We created and performed a dance called Bransty Bear Around the World. It focused on styles of dancing from all around the world and involved a range of moves and music. We all worked so hard to perform this so confidently.
Last year our school received a gold Sainsbury’s sport award for arranging and participating in a range of sporting activities. This year we have received a bronze award! Let’s see if we can get gold again! 🙂
