Sports and PE
At Middlezoy and Othery Schools we work closely with professional sports coaches at Inspired Schools to ensure that our children get expert tuition in their PE lessons. Our children are encouraged to be active and we enhance this provision with active playtimes and with additional events throughout the year, such as:
* Rugby Coaching with Helen Sherman from Somerton RFC
* Cricket coaching from Somerset Cricket Club
* Cricket festivals at Taunton Cricket Ground
* A good range of after sports clubs
* Sports Festivals with local schools including hockey, basketball, tag rugby and football.
Swimming and Water Safety
Our children attend swimming lessons as part of their KS2 education where they work towards achieving the required standard:
All schools must provide swimming instruction either in key stage 1 or key stage 2.
In particular, pupils should be taught to:
swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres
use a range of strokes effectively [for example, front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke]
perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.
