Clubs and Sporting Enrichment
Purbrook Junior School provides a broad and inclusive extracurricular programme that enhances pupils’ physical development, wellbeing and enjoyment of school life. Our clubs offer pupils further opportunities to be physically active, develop skills, build confidence and engage in competition, complementing the PE curriculum.
A wide range of sporting opportunities is available, including football, netball, basketball, cross country, karate and tennis enabling pupils to explore interests and develop positive attitudes towards physical activity.
Competition Pathways
As a school, we value competition as a tool to develop resilience, teamwork, sportsmanship and aspiration. Pupils are encouraged to participate at an appropriate level through a clear competition structure:
- Level 1 – Intra-School Competition
Inclusive competition within school, such as class or house events, ensuring all pupils can participate. - Level 2 – Inter-School Competition
Participation in local Gold, Silver and Bronze leagues. Pupils are selected based on ability, engagement and performance during PE lessons and after-school clubs. - Level 3 – Inter-Area Competition
Pupils progress to this level by winning an inter-school local Gold league and representing the school at area events.
