PE at Burnley Road Academy
Cross Country
Last week, children from Years 3 to 6 had the exciting opportunity to participate in the HX7 Cross Country event held at Calder High School. Every child who took part performed exceptionally well, demonstrating remarkable perseverance and determination throughout the race. They also showcased excellent sportsmanship, supporting one another and competing with respect and enthusiasm. We are incredibly proud of how brilliantly our Burnley Road pupils represented our school, showing great dedication and team spirit. Well done to all our runners for their outstanding effort!
Play leaders
Today, a group of our children visited Mytholmroyd Community Centre to take part in a special training session to become Play Leaders. During the session, the children learned valuable skills on how to organise and lead a variety of games for their peers to enjoy during both indoor and outdoor playtimes. They practiced communication, teamwork, and leadership, gaining confidence in supporting others and promoting active play. We are very proud of how well-behaved and enthusiastic the children were throughout the training, demonstrating great maturity and responsibility. This opportunity will help them contribute positively to our school community by encouraging fun, inclusive, and safe play for all pupils.
We encourage all children who leave Burnley Road Academy with the knowledge and skills to lead a healthy, active and love for exercise and sport. Children are exposed to a range of different sports are encouraged to persue these outside of school. We are incredibly lucky to have a specialist Sports teacher who has extensive knowledge who teaches KS2. The children have the opportunity to join a range of sporting activities, after school, by specilists in the sport. We are also part of a HX7 Cluster of schools, where we often have competitions to attend.
At Burnley Road Academy we follow a PE scheme, called 'The PE HUB'. The scheme shows a clear progression from EYFS all the way to Year 6. In EYFS and KS1 they are building up skills ready for KS2 where they move towards key sports.
