At Daven Primary School, our physical education curriculum is supported by Mutliflex and many local sports clubs and coaches. This support ensures that all children are able to access a range of sports and activities.
As a school, we are part of the Congleton Education Partnership, enabling the children to access competitive and non-competitive sports competitions. We also participate in a range of sporting activities held by local primary schools, high schools and the Congleton Town Sports. Our high-quality physical education curriculum inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities. It also enables the children to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. The opportunity to compete in sport and other activities build their character and helps to embed our values of being brave. Our school sports day is held in summer every year is a festival and showcase of a range of sports - parents, staff and children are encouraged to join in.
All children will complete a minimum of 2 hours physical education a week. This is through the PE session and the daily mile. They are also offered a range of sporting equipment to use at break times along with group games, supported by staff and play leaders.
Our KS2 children also have timetabled sessions at the local swimming pool were they have weekly lessons to develop their confidence in the water, teach lifesaving skills and we aim to ensure each child can swim confidently a minimum distance of 25 meters, as stated in the National Curriculum.
