Physical Education, School Sport & Physical Activity at Giffard Park Primary School
Here at Giffard Park Primary School, we believe that physical education, school sport and physical activity (PESSPA) not only contributes to the physical aspects of a healthy lifestyle, but also enhances health and mental wellbeing. We deliver a high-quality physical education curriculum, inspiring all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive and non-competitive sport as well as other physically-demanding activities. Through the use of PESSPA, we look to provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. We use this as an opportunity to encourage values such as fairness, solidarity and respect. Our children are encouraged to engage in sports and exercise outside of the school timetable and to engage in choices that promote healthy lifestyles.
Sports Teams at Giffard Park Primary School
We are lucky to have such amazing athletes that allow us to participate in a range of different sports such as: Football, Dodgeball, Athletics, Cross Country, Badminton and many, many more. We like to reward the hard work and determination of our pupils, who display co-operation and wear our badge with pride whenever representing our school in sports. We run a variety of extracurricular activities offering our children more opportunities to remain active and engage with others by developing friendships, social skills and understanding of sports.
Specialist Sports Coaches from Premier Education deliver our PESSPA both within the curriculum and through extra-curricular clubs.
Giffard Park School Dodgeball Tournament 2023.
On Thursday 7th December, Giffard Park took part in a Dodgeball Tournament hosted at Lord Grey Secondary School.
We played lots of three-minute rounds and points were rewarded for how many players were at the end of the round. We played against six other teams.
We had lots of success and as a team tried really hard to score as many points as we could.
We started off the tournament really strong and this continued throughout each round leaving us with a total of 20 points.
We made some fantastic catches and threw some amazing shots which really benefited us and helped us win many matches!
A massive well done to our players.
I am very proud of the effort the children made and enjoyed being part of the dodgeball competition of the year. Well Done Team Giffard.
