Cooks Spinney, HARLOW, England, CM20 3BW

PER ARDUA AD ASTRA - THROUGH ADVERSITY TO THE STARS ..to work collaboratively to create an innovative and diverse curriculum that fully engages the whole community in our relentless drive and commitment to raising standards as we continue our journey to the stars.

PE AND SPORT AT COOKS SPINNEY

Children at Cooks Spinney are given lots of opportunities to participate in sports during and after school.  Some of the sports activities that have taken place over the last year include; netball, rounders, cricket, tag rugby, football, athletics, dodgeball, swimming, gymnastics, dance, hockey, table tennis, badminton, cross country, basketball and taekwondo. 

 By offering lots of different sports clubs and building up our PE and sport resources, we are leaving a legacy for the school community for the future.  We have already established a reputation as a ‘sporty school’ over a relatively short time.  We will continue to ensure that all future children have the same opportunities as our current children receive now.

In July 2017  we were awarded the Sainsbury’s School Games Gold  Award which reflects the pride we take in offering children as many opportunities as possible to get involved in sport. We are providing many more opportunities for our children to participate in competitions, through BMAT events and festivals and also by regularly entering teams into to Harlow District Competitions.

Badminton Festival @ MHA Friday 11th October 2019

We bought two teams to the Badminton event at Mark hall and the 2 teams are through to the finals in January. All of the children learnt how to keep score of a badminton game and how to serve the correct way at school before we brought them to the competition. Our children done fantastically well & are now through to the Essex finals in January. We are so proud of the students and there will be a BADMINTON club at BURNT MILL SCHOOL EVERY MONDAY from 3.30-4.30 to practice with the big high ceilings so the shuttlecock does not hit the roof. If anyone is interested in going to start or improve their badminton skill, please come & get a letter off Miss Jordan, Mr Kirk or Miss Harris.
