Bamford Primary School is very proud of our strong sporting culture. We are a school who recognises the importance of sports for all and aim to encourage our pupils to try and participate in a wide variety of different sporting activities.
Our sports teams compete in the Hope Valley Primary Schools Sports Festivals. Additionally, children can attend clubs which are run at Hope Valley College, through our on-going partnership.
We have earned Platinum Status! Well done to all involved, especially Mrs Bland, our outgoing Sports Leaders and parents. This is a great achievement. The Sporting Calendar has been updated and regular photos and results / sports results are shared through the school DOJO site.
In consultation with the Student Council, we have decided that our Spring challenge will be to walk/run 26 miles before April 21st which is London Marathon day! The council team have worked out that to do this we will need to do 8 laps of the playground every day so that we can do 2 miles a week! They are also producing a power point so that we will have London landmarks to motivate us!! We have made a class chart to track progress so hopefully it will be a fun and motivating challenge for everyone. The infants are going to try a half marathon of 13 miles.
We would like to do some fund raising alongside the event and again the Student Council have agreed that they would like to put any funds raised towards buying equipment for the new forest schools area which we hope to get up and running soon. We felt that raising between £5 and £10 was a manageable target but obviously if you can do more that would be great! We will get some sponsor forms out asap.
We hope you will help support us in our challenge and it will require children to wear, or have in school suitable footwear to run in. Thank you.
Sports Leaders! (Heroes)
Many of the sports events are supported, initiated and helped run by our Yr6 Sports Leaders.
