Totley Primary School Mission Statement for PE and sport.
At Totley Primary we aim to instil a passion for PE and sports. We feel that it is important to encourage a healthy lifestyle, and strive to do this by engaging children in a range of sporting experiences, with high quality PE teaching. As PE and sport enhance physical ability, confidence and self-esteem, we aim to develop each child to fulfil their potential by providing them with the required knowledge and skills, and giving them the opportunity to compete internally, and with other schools.
Our school provides a minimum of 2 hours of PE every week, as well as a wide variety of lunch-time and after school clubs which increase pupil participation in sporting activities, here are other examples of how physical activity is encouraged:
– Each play and lunch-time, KS1 and KS2 have a ‘Smooga’ in which football is played
– A supervised climbing wall and outdoor table tennis table are available for KS2 children during lunchtimes
– Age appropriate sporting equipment is available to all children during lunch-times, for example: rugby balls, basketballs, a tennis net and equipment, and cricket equipment,
– A trim trail
– Year 6 playground leaders initiate sports and games with the Foundation, KS1, and KS2 children at lunch-times. Here are their ‘key aims’ (as suggested by our Playground Leader team):
- “Keeping children fit
- Getting mixed ages playing together at lunch-times
- Getting to know each other better through sport
- Showing that sports are fun
- Teaching children that you have to try new sports and you may get into them”
Competitive Opportunities
We offer many opportunities for children to compete within school, and with other schools in varied sports, especially during KS2. Examples of these include:
Network Festivals (for KS1 and KS2)
Y5/Y6 Athletics trials (in school) and Outdoor Athletics (inter school)
Y3/4/5/6 Gymnastics competition (trained through PE lessons and our extra-curricular gymnastics club)
Y5 Cricket competition (with other Sheffield schools)
Y4 Rugby Competition
KS2 Swimming Gala
SFSS Football League (Y6)
Look out for our blogs to see how the children get on!
The Lant Trophy!
Through-out the year, we run a football tournament. This includes every child in KS2 who wishes to take part. During an exciting ‘silent auction’, year 6 team captains bid for players which make up their team for the year (with a spread of all KS2 year groups, male and female). One or two matches are then played weekly, at lunch-time, through-out the year.

We have a range of extra curricular activities taking place most evenings. Please see below for the latest timetable of activities:
