Sport & Fitness

At East Hunsbury Primary School, sport is a big deal. We believe that physical activity is essential for health, confidence and happiness - and it plays a vital role in helping children develop teamwork, resilience and ambition.

Our commitment to sport

• PE is taught by a specialist sports coach alongside class teachers to ensure high-quality teaching across the school.

• Our sports coach also runs after-school clubs for children across the primary phase, giving every child the chance to try something new and stay active.

• We offer a wide range of clubs and activities after school, from football and netball to dance, gymnastics and multi-sports.

Working with the best

We work closely with local sporting organisations, including:

• Northampton Town Football Club

• Northampton Saints Rugby

• NSport

These partnerships bring expertise and inspiration to our children and help us create exciting opportunities both in and out of school.

Competitions and Events

We take part in a variety of sporting competitions and events:

• External competitions against other schools

• Intra-school sports within our house teams — every year group has an assigned sport for their house competition (for example, Year 3 plays dodgeball)

These events build confidence, teamwork and a sense of belonging.

Tracking Participation

We carefully track participation and activity rates across the school to make sure every child gets the sport and fitness they deserve and need. If a child is less active, we find ways to encourage and support them to get involved.

Sport at EHPS is about more than exercise - it’s about developing healthy habits for life, building friendships and celebrating achievement. Whether it’s PE lessons, after-school clubs or house competitions, we make sure every child has the chance to shine.
