PE at Christ Church Pellon
At Christ Church Pellon, we recognise the importance of Physical Education (PE) in supporting children’s overall development and promoting healthy, active lifestyles. We are committed to providing high-quality PE opportunities through our new two-hour weekly PE lessons, led by teachers and supported by our Sports Co-ordinator. Using the Get Set 4 Education scheme, children take part in a wide range of age-appropriate sporting activities designed around the facilities and equipment available in school. Through engaging in a variety of sports, pupils develop physical fitness, confidence and transferable life skills such as teamwork, resilience and communication. Our PE curriculum aims to build competence across different sports, encourage healthy competition that reflects the school’s ethos, and provide children with the foundations for lifelong wellbeing.
Out of school activities
Out of school competitions are a fantastic way for children to demonstrate their skills whilst having a lot of fun represent the school. Competitions allow for children to experience sports competitively promoting a brilliant new opportunity for them to practice and apply their skills.
Below are some of our recent reports from taking part in school competitions.
Cross country
What an incredible, challenging, and rewarding season for our school’s cross-country team! Through mud, rain, and cold winds, our athletes have shown immense dedication, representing the school with pride and demonstrating that hard work pays off. This season was not just about the final times on the clock, but about building resilience, fostering teamwork, and pushing past personal limits.
Rugby
During the spring term, a determined squad of ten Year 5 and Year 6 children represented our school in an exciting rugby tournament. For many of the players, this competitive event marked their first time ever stepping onto a rugby pitch to face opposing teams. While the scoreboard did not swing in our fvour and we did not bring home a tournament win, the children displayed exceptional resilience, teamwork and sportsmanship. Every single player tried their absolute best, fighting hard for every possession abd supporting one another until the final whistle blew.
Girls football competition
A group of six girls recently represented our school at a football competition held at Halifax 3GI. The event brought together teams from 24 different schools, giving the children an exciting opportunity to compete against a wide range of talented players.
Throughout the tournament, the girls demonstrated excellent teamwork, determination, and sportsmanship. Although we were unable to secure a win on this occasion, every player gave their best effort and showed great resilience in each match.
PE Kit
Firstly, remember that your PE kit must be worn during each lesson, as it not only helps you get into the right mindset for physical activity but also keeps you comfortable while were on the move. You'll need to wear a house-coloured T-shirt, which helps us all show team spirit. Pair it with some plain joggers or shorts – just make sure they’re suitable for exercise. The aim is to move freely, so comfort is key!
Make sure that jewellery is removed or covered during PE to maintain safety.
