The PE and Sport Premium is a fund provided by the Government specifically with the aim of improving physical education and sport in primary schools.
Mornington prides itself on covering a range of sports through the curriculum. The various sports we teach cover invasion, dance, net, field and striking, athletics and gymnastics. We encourage children to look at various roles within the sport including refereeing/umpiring, leading warm-ups and cool downs.
As a school we are always looking at providing opportunities for children to try exciting new sports that they may not be able to access. Some of these sports have included wheelchair basketball, squash and boxercise.
Mornington is an active participant in a range of sports competitions and events which include:
- District Sports, Cross Country, Dance Festival, Football League, Basketball League, Indoor Athletics & Swimming galas – including representation at the National Schools Finals.
We aim to:
- Enhance physical development while instilling an appreciation for the benefits of engaging in physical pursuits.
- Build self-esteem by nurturing physical confidence, helping pupils manage success and failure in both competitive games.
- Provide a diverse array of sports and activities for all pupils to enhance their experience.
- Encourage active outdoor pursuits to enrich pupils’ physical experiences and well-being.
- Foster physical confidence, encouraging pupils to participate in meaningful physical activities.
- Highlight the enjoyment gained from participating in sports and physical activities.
