PE  is an integral part of the curriculum. We give the children the opportunity to experience a range of sporting activities and to compete in competitions, aimed at all abilities. We provide children with the chance to excel and showcase their talents in a variety of different sports. Every child participates in at least two hours of PE per week and alongside this we offer a lunchtime sports provision for KS2 children and a large number of after school and lunchtime clubs across both key stages. We ensure that sporting opportunities are varied in order to increase participation and encourage children to try new sports.

Children participate in a range of competitive and cooperative sports including dance and gymnastics, multi skills,throwing and catching and invasion games.

All children in Year 4  participate in 1 term of swimming each year at Sowerby Bridge Swimming Pool, where they learn the essential skills required to become a confident swimmer and to understand water safety.

Children have many opportunities to attend competitive sporting events and tournaments outside of school lessons. We have an excellent relationship with our feeder secondary schools which provides children the opportunity to represent the school in our local area.
