Sport

PE and Sport play a very important part in the life at River Beach Primary School and children receive a minimum of two hours of sport per week in every class with  access to a range of exciting equipment and extensive facilities both inside and out. 

In addition to PE sessions, we have competitions, visits and experiences for many of our pupils to take part in. These include cross country races,football competitions for different year groups and the use of a 9 hole putting green, a trim trail and an outdoor gym.

Our annual summer sports day is an exciting event where the children can work in their house teams. It really is a highlight to our sporting calendar and another chance for all of our pupils to demonstrate their sporting abilities in a competitive and fun event. 

Before and after school, we provide almost 1500 spaces across the school year for our children to take part in active clubs. These range from clubs run by coaches such as golf, football, karate and zumba to teacher led clubs in dance, gymnastics and football. 

Within the local area, we compete against other schools as part of the Littlehampton Area Sports Partnership (LASP) and the wider Southern Area School Games partnership. We pride ourselves on our sports teams’ reputation for competitiveness, fair play and sportsmanship; which are values we hold in high regard and aim to promote at River Beach. Also our links with the local secondary school, TLA and Angmering, enable us to make use of their resources and support our children with transition to secondary school.

Don’t just take our word for how fantastic we are at sport! We have competed at the regional finals in cross country and are the current Southern area rounders runners up. In addition, due to our commitment to sport we have been awarded Platinum Plus in KS1 Quality Start Award and Gold in Your School Games award.

Finally, we believe children should be able to experience sport in a range of settings and in Year 6 our children have the opportunity to try a range of activities on their residential trip.

We actively encourage parents to come and support the children in all of our varied sports events. However, in order to show your support responsibly and respectfully, please read our Code of Conduct for parents and spectators here.
