Sport

The PE & Games Department at Crosfields offers a varied, balanced and differentiated curriculum that gives all pupils the opportunity to experience a diverse range of activities.  It is our aim that through pupil’s exposure to the Crosfields PE curriculum, interest and enthusiasm will be generated, and skills/techniques will be learned.  These attributes will form a foundation for building upon in the future and encourage all pupils’ to engage in an active, healthy lifestyle as adults.’

Sport plays a big part in the school lives of all children at Crosfields.  From Year 3 upwards, children are taught PE, Games and Swimming by specialist staff.  In the Junior school (Year 3 & 4), every child attends one 35 minute PE lesson, one 35 minute Swimming lesson and two 70 minute Games lessons.  In Years 5 to 8 this increases to one 35 minute PE lesson, one 35 minute Swimming lesson and three 80 minute Games lessons.

The major games taught at Crosfields for boys are Football – Autumn Term, Rugby – Spring Term and Cricket – Summer Term.  For girls the major games are netball, hockey and rounders.  Many teams are run in each of these activities and all children from Years 3 to 8 are presented with the opportunity to play fixtures against local schools.
