PE and Sport
PE and Sport are an integral part of life at Kingshott, whether as part of the school curriculum or its extensive extra-curricular programme.
Our mission is to provide dynamic, innovative and outstanding teaching and learning in extensive facilities to all children, irrespective of their age or ability. We believe this lays the foundation for a healthy and active lifestyle.
Children are encouraged to perform to the best of their ability in an enjoyable atmosphere. Most are selected to represent the school in competitive matches. We have a large number of talented sports players, several of whom have already represented their country or county at a variety of sports including rugby, swimming, football, athletics, hockey, cricket and gymnastics.
Sporting enjoyment and success, however, is not just a matter of winning. Children often pursue their chosen sports outside the timetabled hours and we offer an extensive programme of hobbies to incorporate the learning of skills in a less competitive environment. Children are encouraged to try many different sports.
All children are given the opportunity to play many different sports and at some time represent their House team and also the school. There is very much a Sports for All ethos which gives children plenty of opportunity to participate.
Sport involves the development of physical competence, enabling children to play efficiently and safely and to understand the importance of physical activity. Children at Kingshott are taught the importance and qualities of fair play and to learn to cope with both success and failure. They are given the opportunity to work on their own and with others, promoting independence, cooperation and competition. The balanced PE and Games programme helps to develop a positive attitude to health, hygiene and fitness.
