Our PE curriculum at Ashcombe enables children to participate and develop their own physical skills and strategies according to their own physical strengths and abilities. We are always keen to offer opportunities to compete against children in other schools and in a range of sporting opportunities. We follow an online PE scheme of work from Key Pe Sport www.keypesports.com This enables us to ensure progression from our reception pupils to year 6. Our lessons encourage at least one hour of outdoor PE per week and one hour of indoor PE per week. 

A group of 12 children from year 2 travelled to Worle Village school for a morning of new sports to explore with our MAT schools ran by NSSPEA. They learnt how to play Molky, Cornhole and competed in speed stacking. 

A small group of year 2 children represented us in a multi-sports afternoon held Becket Primary School last week. Children from across Kaleidoscope MAT took part and they rotated around archery, bowling, target throwing, boules and a game called attack the tower. We are very proud of how well they represented Ashcombe and they have learnt some new games to take back to school and teach their classes during future PE lessons. 💪🥰🤩

Huge congratulations to our year 6 pupils who took part in a swimming gala last week. We are really proud to say that we came 4th in our heat out of the 16 schools who took part. The group of 12 took part in either a 25m front crawl race, 25m backstroke or 25m breaststroke, we then had a team of 4 who took part in  a  4 x 25m freestyle relay and finally a 4 x 25m noodle race! The children were so polite and excellent  representatives of the school! 💪🥰🤩 

This afternoon children in year 3 got to have a PE lesson where they learnt how to play Tri Golf. 

Thank you to North Somerset PE association for coming in to spend the afternoon with us.

'We're really proud of how hard and determined a team of 20 children from year 5 were when they participated in 'Sports hall athletics' with other schools from across North Somerset. Activities included relay races and field events like triple jump, vertical jump and a speed bounce.' 

"On Wednesday of this week a team of 8 children chosen from year 5 represented us in a MAT organised event at St Martin's. We were very proud of how well the team represented our school, showing their team spirit and determination throughout all matches. Dodgeball is now an event which year 5 would like to learn as part of their PE curriculum and the team have said that they are keen to teach year 5 the rules and skills needed to play dodgeball."

We're very proud of this crew of sportsmen and women who competed against local schools in a tournament today at Hutton Moor.

The children competed in a range of track and field events including triple jump, javelin and a range of relay races.

The children enjoyed the morning and were first class ambassadors for our school. Excellent behaviour and commitment was displayed by them all and they were extremely tired by the end of it!

Cross Country

5 of our year 2 children took part in a sports event organised by Worle Village Primary. They got to take part in games of speed stacking, molkky and cornhole against children from across our MAT. The children were a credit to our school, showing great sportsmanship and team spirit.
