At AK, our current PE provision is provided by iCan Sports Coaching (Mr Tanner). He works closely with PE Subject Lead and Deputy Headteacher Mr Hockaday to ensure that PE and Sport at Ashton Keynes is the very best it possibly can be.

Within this role, Mr Tanner is in school most days teaching PE where every class is timetabled 2 hours of PE a week. He also organises sports activities during lunch times and runs after school clubs to keep children at AK as active as possible! As part of the Cotswold School Sports Network, we attend as many tournaments, fixtures & festivals as possible so that Team AK get to compete against other local schools and experience a wide range of sporting opportunities.

School Games Mark

The School Games Mark is a government led awards scheme launched in 2012 to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community. Participating in this process allows us to evaluate our PE provision and assists us in developing an action plan for future progress.

Each School Games Mark application is divided into four sets of questions. They cover the following basic topics:

• Participation – how many young people at our school are being engaged in sporting activity?
• Competition – how many different sports are being played and how many competitions are being entered?
• Workforce – how many pupils are involved in leadership activities alongside taking part in competitions?
• Clubs – how many local links does our school have with clubs or establishments from the area?

We are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our competitions possible.

As part of our application, we were asked to fulfil criteria in the areas of participation, competition, workforce and clubs, and we are pleased that the hard work of everyone at our school has been rewarded again this year as we achieved the Gold award for the second successive year!

We look forward to applying once again in 2027!

It is a very exciting time to be involved in PE & Sport here at AKPS as Mr Hockaday has helped put together a full and wide ranging plan of action to build on the successes of last year.

This year we are:

• Continuing to use the star challenge from the classroom into P.E.
• Using our AK core school values of Perseverance, Creativity, Friendship and Trust to underpin our Sports Merits
• Benefiting from the outdoor classroom to introduce lessons and evaluate our learning
• Developing new ways to access pupils’ progress in P.E. through the ‘Real PE’
• Introducing a sports leaders scheme in Year 5 & 6
• Engaging in as many healthy competitions as possible within our Kingshill Sports Cluster
• Providing lunchtime sessions to promote sportsmanship
• Organising an even bigger and better AK Sports Week than last year to offer even more opportunities for our pupils to experience sport and learn about its benefits when combined with healthy diet and lifestyle choices

I truly believe that Team AK has something to offer every single pupil and I love seeing our stars make the first steps towards reaching their potential. Look out for the Team AK Sports & P.E. newsletters to see what we have been up to across the school.
