Sport at Stanningley

School Sports at Stanningley Primary School

At Stanningley Primary School, we are proud of our strong sporting culture and commitment to keeping children active, healthy, and happy. Sport is an important part of life beyond the classroom — and plays a big role in developing teamwork, confidence, and resilience.

We offer a wide range of sports and physical activities throughout the school year, making sure every child has the opportunity to take part, shine, and enjoy being active.

PE and Physical Activity

Our high-quality PE curriculum is taught by both class teachers and our specialist sports coach, Mr Davis. Children enjoy two hours of PE each week, which includes games, dance, gymnastics, athletics and outdoor adventurous activities. Skills are taught progressively, with a focus on fitness, fair play, and fun.

We also build in opportunities for active learning across the school day, including daily movement breaks, active lessons, and active playtimes.

Sports Clubs and Extra-Curricular Activities

We offer a variety of after-school sports clubs across the year — from football and multi-sports to dance and gymnastics. These clubs are run by school staff and external coaches, and are a great way for children to develop their skills and try something new.

Clubs are open to children of all abilities, and we encourage as many pupils as possible to join in and get moving!
