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.

Cooks Spinney Primary Academy and Nursery achieved Gold award in the most recent year School Games Mark was awarded.

Big Pedal success 🚲 🚶‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ 🌍

We are delighted to say we got outstanding for our Big Pedal effort when we all tried to walk, cycle, run & scoot to school! The children, parents and staff all put in a massive effort to not use their cars to get to & from school instead use alternative mode of transport to help our green earth 🌍 whilst improving our physical & mental fitness!

Reception Athletics Festival, Friday 14th of May 2021

We had a lovely afternoon of Sprites & Unions enjoying all the different field & track events. Unicorn competed in track activities against each other with relay hurdle sprints whilst Sprites class enjoyed field events such as javelin, vortex, disc & shot putt. The students worked very hard we stopped half way & swapped over so they had the experience of both track & field athletic events. The students really enjoyed themselves & they all received an adventurous sticker from Miss Jordan for their fabulous effort.
