At the Mead we endeavour to ensure that all junior children have some form of physical activity each day. A variety of sports are taught by specialist members of staff. Sports offered include gymnastics, netball, hockey, football, cricket, rounders, athletics, tennis and creative movement. Swimming is enjoyed throughout the year by all the children.

Our Swimming Gala and Sports Day are held in the Summer Term. These events give the children a wonderful opportunity to compete against their peers and have their successes and personal achievements recognised and valued.

All children gain badges and awards, ranging from a vast array of swimming achievements to Judo Gradings held twice yearly. Again, a real opportunity for the children to recognise their own personal progress and achievement.

Through sport, children at The Mead develop a sense of fair play, honesty and sportsmanship. Children learn to strive for themselves and for others, to work hard as an individual and for their team. There are regular matches with neighbouring schools.
