Physical education
“When it comes to health and well-being, regular exercise is about as close to a magic potion as you can get”
Thich Nhat Hanh
At Snaresbrook Primary School, we aim to provide a high-quality PE curriculum that provides enjoyment for pupils from Reception to Year 6 and allows them to become physically confident. By providing opportunities for pupils to experience a range of physically-demanding activities we intend that our curriculum supports the development of their health, fitness and wellbeing and inspires children to succeed and excel in sport.
How is PE implemented?
Snaresbrook’s PE curriculum provides enjoyable and challenging learning through a range of activities including: invasion games, net and wall games, strike and field games, as well as gymnastics, dance, swimming and outdoor and adventure activities.
Our provision consists of:
* One hour of PE for Early Years Foundation Stage/Key Stage 1 (Nursery to Year 2)
* Two hours of PE for Key Stage 2 (Years 3 to 6)
Lessons are carefully planned and delivered by class teachers.
We also offer a range of clubs for different ages and aim to take part in competitive sporting events and interschool competitions across Redbridge borough and London.

Cross Country 2022

Snaresbrook Primary Rugby Team
On Wednesday 16th of November, Ms. Sells and Mr. Sullivan took a mixed team of year 5/6 children to a rugby tournament at Wanstead Rugby Club. Our team competed against 14 other schools in the borough and showed incredible skill and team work. We finished top of our group of 7 and made it through to the semifinals. Unfortunately, a defeat of 4-2 to Bancrofts saw us out of the gold and silver medal position. We played Nightingale A Team in the bronze medal game and drew 4-4. It could have gone either way but we lost the game on the golden goal, finishing in fourth place overall. Although we were all disappointed not to come away with a medal, to place fourth was an amazing achievement for our first competitive tournament. Well done Team Snaresbrook - you were an absolute credit to this school.
Girls Football Festival - International Women's Day

Some of our year 3 and year 4 girls had a fantastic day celebrating International Women's Day on the 8th March with a girls' football festival at Frenford FC. They took part in skills training and some friendly matches to celebrate the growth and success of girls' football in East London. Our children were lucky enough to be joined by some celebrity faces from the football world and took part in filming for The One Show and interviewing by the FA. They rubbed shoulders with Kelly Smith and Baroness Campbell, Sarena Weigman signed their shirts and Ian Wright played football with them! All of the girls demonstrated some impressive football skills and great teamwork and they were all a credit to Snaresbrook Primary School. An amazing opportunity for our girls - one that they will never forget. |

Road Safety Workshop - Play in a Day
This all-action performance workshop was perfect for our students, exploring issues around road safety. In addition to pedestrian behaviour and roadside discipline we plunged into the wonderful world of independent travel, using public transport and in-vehicle behaviour. What particular hazards are there where you live? Where is it safest to cross the road and why? What types of crossings are there and how do they work? What if there aren't any official crossings nearby..? These were the themes that 5BF worked through to put together their 'Play in a Day' all about road safety.

To celebrate the formation of the new sports council, we took a team-building trip to the West Ham Foundation. We visited the royal lounge, dugout, changing rooms and Olympic track, and learnt about how the stadium remains a world-class multi-purpose facility.
Chloe Morgan Visit
We were very excited to have Chloe Morgan (Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper) visit our school. She played games with the children during lunchtime, led PE lessons with the Year 6's in the afternoon, and then held a whole-school assembly at the end of the day. A great inspiration to our young footballers !

SKY News Visit
Our school sent messages of support to England's Lionesses during the World Cup through videos and tweets, to which we received video messages back from Steph Houghton and Karen Bardsley. SKY News heard about this and were straight on the phone to Mr Ford.The day after the match, they sent down their broadcast team to interview our girls.
Aldersbrook Lawn Tennis Club
We were very lucky to have Mr Jorge Santos from the Aldersbrook Lawn Tennis Club visit us to host tennis sessions. He spent two days with the children, teaching tennis skills across the school. This was a great opportunity for the children to experience high-quality coaching. Mr Santos then invited our students to visit his tennis club for a free session.
KS1 Sports Council Organise "Coat Collection for Homeless"
The children in the Key Stage 1 Sports Council decided to undertake a charitable task.
