Downham Church Of England Primary School

SPORT

As you will be aware, due to inevitable changes to school life over the past year, we have not been able to embrace the challenge of competitive sport in the usual Downham way. We have, however, still managed to enter a number of “virtual” events

• Sportshall Athletics
• Virtual Key Steps Gymnastics
• Virtual Cross Country 

The Panathlon Foundation worked with a number of children across the school this half-term in a range of sports that are adapted for people with additional needs. 

2019-2020 Events: 

• Y3/4 Dance Festival 
• Y5/6 Central Venue League Netball 
• Y5/6 Central Venue League Football 
• KS1&2 Cross Country 
• KS1&2 Sports Hall Athletics 
• KS2 Tag Rugby
• Primary Panathlon Events 
• WDF PE Inclusion Day 
• Gifted and Talent Rising Stars 
• Sports Leaders Training
• Year 5 Buddy Bootcamp
• Active Kids Festival
• Y2 Dance Festival 

Downham are part of the William deFerrers School Sport Partnership. We work closely with a number of schools in the local area to provide a wide range of sporting opportunities for our children. 

Below you will find our half-termly sports newsletter written by the children who have competed in events, festivals and competitions.
