Sport and PE

Sport and Physical Education form an important part of our curriculum. Pupils have weekly PE lessons throughout the year, making use of our extensive indoor and outdoor facilities. By the end of Year 6 all pupils will have had swimming instruction in our local pool.

Sports teaching is carried out both by our own teaching staff and by specialist coaches.

Pupils at Epping Primary have the opportunity to take part in a range of different sporting activities in addition to the school curriculum, including afterschool sports and activity clubs. In addition teams representing our school take part in competitive sport throughout the year - including District Sports and inter-school football and kwik cricket competitions.

Houses

There are four sporting Houses used for competitive team games during the year; Wintry, Stonards, Griffin and Swaines. These Houses are led by House Captains who apply for the role within year 6. House points are awarded for good sporting behaviour and achievement. These are added up weekly and the total points are shared with the whole school. At the end of the year the team with the highest points wins the House Cup.
