All Saints' C of E Primary School

We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded the School Games 2021/22 GOLD AWARD.  This is a wonderful achievement that we are all extremely proud of for our commitment to keep our children active and engaged with PE and Sports.  We are pleased that the dedication and hard work of everyone at All Saints' C of E Primary, in this subject has been successfully rewarded.  From our Sports Ambassadors, to teachers, PE Coaches, to parents who have assisted at competitions and of course our amazingly passionate children who adore this subject, a HUGE WELL DONE AND CONGRATULATIONS!  Fingers crossed for the PLATINUM AWARD in the near future...! 

At All Saints’ we believe that PE plays a pivotal role in developing a strong sense of health and wellbeing – physically and mentally.  PE is viewed as a key subject for setting a strong foundation for a healthy, positive future lifestyle and we hope that through our engaging, fun, high quality and challenging PE provision, we are strongly supporting our children to be physically literate and aware of the huge benefits of exercise and healthy living/ eating.  We strive for every child to achieve their physical potential through a determined attitude to succeed, be resilient when required and to and develop important social skills for life such as; teamwork, fair honest play and respect in all sports (linked to our school values). Our aim is to foster a real enjoyment, confidence and competence in Physical Education and for children to find pleasure in beating personal bests and excelling in competitions in our local community and the wider authority. Through additional clubs and special events during Active week, we aim to spark a love of PE, encouraging children to be active out of school time as well through a wealth of extra- curricular clubs that we promote.  As a Church school, we are passionate that all our children use their gifts given by God and let their light shine for others to admire and marvel at!  Such sporting successes are celebrated in our weekly Celebrations, on our PE display board and Newsletter/ Tapestry communication to families as we ensure that PE is continually promoted as a ‘star’ subject at All Saints’ C of E Primary School.

Sports Day 2022 certainly was a fantastic morning with Reception and KS1 starting off with their traditional competitive activities followed by KS2.  It was wonderful to welcome all our families back onto the school field again this year and many wonderful comments were given about the new organisation of the event.  The morning was topped off with a fantastic atmostphere, music, ice pops, stickers, medals and certificates galore - all finished off with a little sunshine for the perfect sporting event! A huge well done to Mr. Granite, Mrs. Noble and the Harrytown Sports Leaders for such a wonderful morning, 'Working Together as a TEAM'  - Taking Risks', 'Encouraging Learning', 'Achieving Goals' and 'Making Memories'.  

In line with Stockport SHAPES, all our activities for sporting events; PE lessons, competitions and Sports Day  are all based on the following values.  Children receive stickers, medals, trophies and plaques at the end of Y6 for representing this core sporting values. 

A huge well done to our Y6's this year;

Zac - Team Work, Henry- Respect, Gracie - Passion, Lily - Self Belief, Kayden - Determination and Isaac - Honesty. 

And a special mention to our Athlete of All Saints' for her time at All Saints' - Miss. Penny Hallas.  We look forward to hearing more about your Girls Footballing successes with Manchester United in the future...!  

Every year in our annual calendar, we dedicate a whole week to ACTIVE WEEK which is a great highlight of the year for staff and children! During this week, we invite in specialist sports companies and coaches and encourage children to experience different sports which they may never have tried before! Recent events have included; Boogie Bounce (trampolining), Drumz Aloud, Rock climbing, Archery, Lacrosse, Scoot Fit and Karate.

Throughout the year and during Active Week, we work closely alongside various local sports clubs to enable our children to know about local clubs they can join to take part in extra - curricular activities.  We are proud of our strong links with clubs who are always generous with their time and facilities to ensure that our children receive the very best sporting opportunities and experiences during their time at All Saints'.  Community links at their very best! 

During our residentials, in Y4 at The Hollowford Centre- Castleton and in Y6- Robinwood, our children take part in various outdoor adventurous activities from; caving to zip wires, raft building to canoeing all building on team work and problem solving skills.  In addition, all classes carryout Muddy Puddle Sessions as part of our commitment to ourdoor learning which sometimes entail activities such as orienteering.  

At All Saints', all staff use Get Set 4 PE to plan and assess their two hours of PE taught each week to all of our children.  Evidence of progress; photographs and videos of children in action are shared each half term on Tapestry to celebrate with families.
