PE and Sport
At Church Langton, we recognise the vital role movement plays in a child’s development. Being physically literate—confident and capable in how we move—is an essential life skill for everyone. We are passionate about providing our pupils with a wide range of opportunities to explore physical activity and sport, helping them to develop not only their skills but also a lifelong love of being active.
We also value the positive impact of competitive sport, and aim to offer enriching experiences that build resilience, teamwork, and a sense of achievement.
We are thrilled to share that, for the fifth consecutive year, Church Langton has been awarded the GOLD School Games Mark for 2024/25.
Curriculum PE
At our school, every child enjoys two high-quality PE lessons each week, designed to develop a broad range of physical skills and promote a lifelong love of movement and sport. In the early years, children focus on mastering fundamental movement skills such as balance, coordination, and agility. As they progress through school, these core skills are built upon and applied in a variety of sports and physical activities, both indoors and outdoors.
We are proud to offer an all-weather pitch, which allows our pupils to stay active outside throughout most of the year. In addition to regular PE lessons, children take part in outdoor and adventurous activities during residential trips and through our outdoor learning enrichment sessions.
All pupils also participate in a six-week enrichment programme, which introduces them to a wide range of activities and encourages healthy lifestyle choices, teamwork, and personal growth.
Extra-Curricular Opportunities
We offer a wide range of after-school sports clubs led by qualified external coaches. These clubs provide children with the chance to enjoy physical activity in a fun, non-competitive environment. Current offerings include Tae-Kwon-Do, basketball, street dance and football.
Active Lunchtimes
In 2025, we introduced the ‘Happy Lunchtimes’ initiative, supported by whole-staff training. This programme encourages children to be active during lunchtimes through structured play and inclusive physical activities.
Competitive Sport
Through our membership in the South Leicestershire School Sports Partnership, we regularly participate in inter-school competitions. These events give our pupils the chance to compete both individually and as part of a team. Highlights include:
-
Cross-country meets
-
Swimming Gala
-
An evening athletics event at Corby
-
KS1 Multi-Skills festival
-
Year 3 mini-Olympics with local schools

Use of the PE and Sport Premium
The PE and Sport Premium is government funding provided to help primary schools improve the quality of PE, physical activity, and sport. Schools are expected to use this funding to:
-
Enhance or expand the current PE and sport provision
-
Build sustainable capacity to benefit future pupils
At Church Langton, we use this funding strategically to ensure a long-term impact on pupils’ physical development and wellbeing.
A copy of our latest digital report on the use of the Sport Premium can be accessed via the attachments at the bottom of this page.
