Pupils completed baseline testing, and then completed the bleep test three times over the year to indicate if their fitness scores had improved. The majority of children throughout the school have improved on their current score for the bleep test or maintained their previous score. We will continue to keep improving these scores into year 2018/19. In order for the pupils to see what level of fitness they were working at, this temperature table was used. Pupils could use this to self assess and to see if improvements were made.

Sports Day 2018 Acting on feedback from pupils and parents from our previous sports day, our sports day this year was a great success, with every pupil taking part in at least 2 athletics events. Every class were placed into a coloured team – red, yellow, green and blue. To encourage team work, each coloured team worked together across years 3 – 6. At the end of the event all the points were added up for each colour to find our overall winner. Every child did exceptionally well, showed great team work and continuous enthusiasm throughout the whole event.
