Sports Premium
Background
PE at Marsh Gibbon is an area of strength and a subject that we strongly promote. It has been well documented that children who take part in regular PE perform better in all other areas of their academic learning.Our ethos is to develop the whole child in PE. We aim for our children to leave our school enjoying and understanding the benefits of health and fitness while participating in sport and competition.
"Just play, have fun, enjoy the game."
Michael Jordan, Chicago Bulls, Basketball, 6x NBA champion, Olympic Gold medalist
All children take part in two hours of PE lessons each week, with the focus being the fundamentals of sport and PE (agility, balance and coordination). In years R-2 we focus purely on the fundamentals, in years 3-4 we use the fundamentals in small-sided modified games, whilst in years 5-6 we play more traditional games. Marsh Gibbon School has a wide and varied PE curriculum. The children cover invasion games, striking and fielding games, net and wall games, gym, athletics and dance with the addition of swimming in the summer term. Having a heated outdoor swimming pool on site means that all children from Reception up to year 6 get the chance to swim and improve their skills during the summer term.
"I've failed over and over again in my life, that's why I succeed."

We are members of several inter-school networks which enable us to access a great deal of friendly competition: we are members of the Buckingham School Sports Partnership, the Bernwode Liasion group and the Waddesdon family of schools. As a result of these links, we participate in many inter-school fixtures, competitions and festivals. We are proud to have achieved the Sainsbury's Gold Kitemark for the second year running.
Miss Becky Fitzpatrick is our Sports Leader.
