Christ The King RC Primary School

Sport at Christ the King

Christ the King believes that P.E. is an integral part of the school curriculum, offering breadth and balance. Children gain knowledge, understanding and skills through planning, performing and evaluating their work. Physical Education is also a way of motivating children, therefore having a positive impact on cross-curricular links. It plays a fundamental part in social, emotional and intellectual development. The school offers the children 2 hours per week of quality physical activity.


At Christ the King, P.E gives the children the opportunity to experience pleasure, gain confidence and raise their self esteem. Team work and healthy competition are also encouraged.

The staff at the school aim to promote the importance of a healthy lifestyle both physically and mentally. They believe that P.E gives the children a break from academic subjects, enabling them to release their physical energy.

Sports Trips

 

Our school has been very fortunate this year to attend many educational days out to different sporting events throughout the year. Our Year 6's attended the National Squash Championships getting the chance to see some of the worlds best players take on each other. whilst there they also took part in some mini activities. Along with this Year 6 also got the opportunity to attend the National Fire Services final at FC United. On the day when they arrived they took part in mini football and dodgeball matches themselves before being invited into the stadium to watch East Scotland Fire Service take on London Fire Brigade.

In Year 5 we were fortunate enough to have Manchester City come in once a week over a 6 week period teaching the children Maths and Literacy through football. this was a great experience for the children and it was topped off with a trip down to the Etihad Stadium where they got a full tour of the stadium getting to witness some of the best facilities for sport in the world.

Year 4 got the opportunity to attend 2 sessions at Lancashire County Cricket Club. On the first session that we went to the children got the chance to watch Lancashire take on Yorkshire in the county championship. Whilst there the children met Kate Cross who plays for both Lancashire and England in the women's version of the game. they also had the opportunity to test there skills around the ground at different activities before heading back to school. The second trip to Lancashire the children had a mini tour of the stadium and media centre before taking part in different educational activities. In the afternoon the children played Kwik-Cricket in the indoor cricket centre before leaving with lots of goodies given to them from Lancashire.

In Year 3 the children attended a Go Run For Fun event at the Etihad Campus. This was a fantastic morning out for the children who got the opportunity to be one of 195,000 children to have taken part in one of these events in Manchester alone. On the day the children got the chance to meet Kelly Massey, a bronze medal winner from the Rio Olympics. Kelly was part of the 4 x 400m relay team and gave up her time to answer questions that the children had for her in regards to her training, experiences, diet, inspirations and achievements. The children were all given a pink t-shirt in which to run the event in as well as a race number and a pair of colourful shoe laces. All of the children completed the 2k run with some very impressive runners in the group. well done to all on such a successful trip.

MCFC

This year we have been fortunate enough to have a coach coming in from Manchester City every Tuesday to work on the fundamental motor skills with our EYFS children. This has been a fantastic course and the children have really enjoyed the sessions with Olly our coach. Each class in nursery and reception has had a 1 hour session each week doing different activities working on different skills to help develop their movement skills as well as teamwork and other key areas.

We are pleased to announce that this partnership with City is growing stronger and the course will continue in September for the 2017-18 school year.

On top of this we are pleased to also announce that Manchester City will also be coming in to work with our KS1 and KS2 children starting in September 2017 and running through until July 2019. This again is going to be a massive opportunity for the school to work with a major organisation in both an educational way as well as a physical way.

After School Clubs and Sporting Achievements  

This year Christ the King has competed in over 50 events in a variety of different sports. So far we have had a very successful year qualifying for the Citywide finals in 4 different sports and narrowly missing out on finals in many more. I am very proud of the way that our teams have conducted themselves this year when representing our school. It shows in our results the high levels of effort that the children have put in. I am very much looking forward to the finals coming up and very excited at the prospect of future success looking at the talent that we have in school.

I would also like to thank all of the parents, carers and family members that have come to support the children at the different events and at times in difficult weather conditions over the course of the year. Your support is not only appreciated by the children but by myself and the other staff as well.

One final big thank you has to also go to Mr Barlow, Mr Russell and all of the other members of staff who have given up their time and effort after school to help out in the many different sports we have attended this year.
