What does our Sport and PE provision look like at Langrish? Our intent...
At Langrish Primary School, we aim to engage and include all children in fun and highly active PE sessions to develop an enjoyment and love for sport, whilst also encouraging a healthy lifestyle that they will carry with them through their lives. We include regular opportunities for all children to be involved in competitive team and individual sport against their peers and participate in intra-school and inter-school competitions. Our curriculum is delivered by highly skilled class teachers and sports coaches, ensuring the children receive a knowledge rich, sequenced curriculum. At Langrish, children develop a lifelong interest in physical activity, as well as developing positive attitudes towards a healthy lifestyle. Pupil voice (Article 12 UNCRC) is extremely important in this, with children suggesting sports that they would like to try in their curriculum lessons and after school. This year, Quidditch is on our curriculum as a result of suggestion from the play Leaders.
Our skills progression document can be found as an attachment at the bottom of this page.
We did it!!
We are delighted to announce that Langrish School, has achieved the School Games Platinum Mark Award for the 2025/26 academic year. This is the highest recognition in the Schools Games mark awards.
The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward and recognise school’s engagement (provision and uptake) in the School Games against a national benchmark and to celebrate keeping young people active, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success.
We are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of physical activity and school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our events possible. We are committed to using the School Games to try and engage those young people who haven’t previously been active or represented our school and to try and ensure that all our students have a positive experience and want to try out new activities beyond school too, in our community. We believe in the power of physical activity and school sport as a school and give opportunities to those young people that need it most either as a participant, leader, official or volunteer. As part of our application, we were asked to fulfil criteria in the areas linked to the five School Games outcomes and we are pleased that the hard work of everyone at our school has been rewarded this year.
Intra and Inter Sport Competitions
This year we will once again be competing in the School Games Programme with many competitions organised for us by our local SGO (Sara Galliers). These Level 2 competitions (interschool) are in addition to the many sporting opportunities and occasions which take place on a daily basis both in and out of lessons (intra school). All of our pupils take part in two hours of curriculum PE and Sport and many choose to attend lunchtime and after-school clubs. This half-term we have also enjoyed taking part in weekly challenges during our lunchtimes, competing to be the most active class. So far, the Daily Mile has been the most popular activity but hula-hooping has perhaps been the most entertaining!
Sports Values
In every lesson, our pupils are encouraged to observe these values. These help the children to understand that although winning is a positive experience, it is how a team communicates and works together which will ultimately make them successful. Pupils are also encouraged to believe in themselves and always give 100 % at all times.
Sharing our News
We actively encourage all of our pupils to pursue their sporting passions outside of school and we celebrate any achievements in our school newsletter 'The Nutshell'. Click on the 'Newsletters' link above to find out what our pupils have been getting up to outside of school. Our talented youngsters regularly participate in rugby, dancing, swimming and gymnastics to name but a few!

Inclusive Health Check
We ensure that all children have access to a vast array of sporting opportunities regardless of their ability or skill level. To help us achieve this and to audit our current provision, Langrish School has completed the Inclusive Health Check document which in turn gives further ideas and resources for us to aim even higher.
Platinum School Games Mark
This award reflects our outstanding provision for Sport and PE throughout the school, both in curriculum time and outside of school. Thank you to all members of our community who help with coaching, supporting and participating in the wide variety of sports on offer. We look forward to another successful year of sport.
We have the Platinum award until July 2027!
Play Leaders, October 2026
This year, Mrs. Galliers (our SGO) delivered Play Leader training to all of our Year 5 pupils in order to support their leadership in sport regardless of whether this is a role they intended to apply for or not. After an afternoon of activity and a short talk from some of our existing Year 6 PLay Leaders, the Year 5s are now carefully considering whether they intend to write an application for Mrs Smith's consideration. Successful candidates will be announced before half-term in readiness to begin supporting our Year 6-led sessions in November.
What does our sport and PE provision look like at Langrish? Our implementation...
Early Years (Physical Development ELG)
To negotiate space and obstacles safely, with consideration for themselves and others and demonstrate strength, balance and coordination
We have been doing gymnastics and made our own sequence together as a class then made one up individually.
Year 1
Year 1 literally leaping into action in P.E. by practising some core movement skills, including jumping.
The children were challenged to perfect their standing jump technique, thinking about where to fix their gaze, how their knees should be slightly bent, and how to use their arms to add momentum to their jumps.
Year 2
To develop balance, agility and co-ordination in a range of activities
Year 3
Year 4
Year 5
We have been working on our dribbling and shooting skills within mini-games in hockey, building our teamwork skills to nurture a sense of belonging.
Year 6
Our gymnastics unit at the beginning of Autumn Term develops our prior learning of balances and skills from previous years. We have been creating routines that incorporate these skills and will develop this to use equipment in our routines too!

Bedales' Football Festivals, October 2026
Highlights from last year, 2025-2026
Year 3 & 4 Little BEE Netball Festival, April 2026
This term it was the Year 3s and 4s turn to attend a netball festival hosted by our Play Leaders. Unfortunately, no other schools could make the event but our pupils did a great job of making the most of the opportunity. After a number of fun warm-up drills, the Play Leaders organised a mini-match to put everything they had learnt into practice.
Year 2 Cross Country, April 2026
Fifteen Year 2s headed over to Froxfield at the end of a long, sunny week to take part in the Small Schools’ Cross Country competition. After a quick warm-up and course briefing, the boys ran first. Two laps of their HUGE field was no easy task but they kept going, supported by their friends and families. The girls lined up next: a slightly smaller field overall but still plenty of stiff competition. Congratulations to all of our runners for taking part and doing their best. A special mention to Toby and Jude, who finished 6th and 7th respectively in the boys’ race, and to Maddy, who finished just outside the medals in 4th for the girls.
Hampshire Football Finals, April 2026
Girls’ football continues to go from strength to strength at Langrish with 35 pupils currently attending our weekly club from across Key Stage 2. This month saw the culmination of our competitive inter-school competitions for the girls, with an away draw against Warsash in the semi-finals of the Hampshire Plate and a trip to Fleet Spurs Football Club in Farnborough for finals of the Hampshire School Games finals.
They played doggedly against Warsash to come back from two goals down to finish 2-3 in the second half. Some super defensive work kept them in the game and, although we didn’t come away with a win this time, we were incredibly proud of the girls’ performance against a tough team.
In Fleet, the girls competed in 8 matches across the day, winning 2, drawing 5 and losing just one match by one goal. This excellent display of team spirit and stamina resulted in a second place finish in the Championship. A well deserved result for a team who have supported each other and worked their socks off all season.
Meanwhile, our after school girls’ football club continues until the end of term with 35 pupils in regular attendance from across Key Stage 2. If your daughter would like to join them, please just email the office to get involved.
Schools' Cricket Day, April 2026
Play Leaders host Little BEE Netball Festival for Year 2, March 2026
Always a highlight in the sporting calendar, some of our Year 5 Play Leaders did a super job of hosting the Year 2 Netball Festival for ten of our Year 2 pupils and a team of visitors from East Meon. They did a great job of engaging and coaching the younger children, who also worked hard to take part in the various fun drills on offer during the afternoon. Some super netball foundations have been laid.
East Hants Netball at Perins, March 026
Congratulations to our Year 5 & 6 netball team, who competed against teams from across the region to place third overall at the recent East Hants netball tournament. They played well as a team and enjoyed competing against others, putting their skills from netball club into practice!
Cross Country Finals, March 2026
In a field of well over 120 runners from across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, three of our Year 5 and 6 pupils competed in the County Cross Country race at Down Grange in Basingstoke. They all completed the course with smiles on their faces!
Year 6 Dodgeball Tournament, February 2026
Year 6 had an exciting and action-packed trip to Amery Hill this month to take part in a dodgeball tournament! Competing with great enthusiasm and teamwork, the children played an impressive six games each. Both teams showed fantastic determination, skill and sportsmanship, representing the school brilliantly. After a series of fast-paced and competitive matches, our teams achieved an amazing 2nd and 3rd place overall. We are incredibly proud of how well they played and the positive attitude they showed from start to finish. Well done, Year 6!
Girls' Football Tournament, February 2026
Congratulations to our Girls’ Footballers who competed in the East Hants competition earlier this month. Both teams played beautifully, representing the school well. Special congratulations to Langrish Yellow, who won the tournament, taking them through to the County finals next week! They will be competing against other teams from across Hampshire at the county ground in Stoneham Lane, Eastleigh. We wish them all the best—you’ve already made us incredibly proud; go and enjoy your day!
Year 3 and 4 Dodgeball, February 2026
These Year 3 & 4 pupils participated in a dodgeball competition at Eggars Secondary School. They competed against 5 other schools across 6 matches. Their sportsperson-ship was excellent and we were highly impressed by how calmly they celebrated each victory and how passionate they were in each match. We are pleased to say that Langrish won the competition!
KS1 Gymnastics, January 2026
We were delighted to be able to take some of our younger pupils to an enrichment event this week for their gymnastics. A small group of Year 1 and 2 pupils were selected for their engagement in the sport beyond school or the interest they show in lessons. They headed off to Eggars School, where they were put through their paces by peer mentors. Congratulations to all our pupils who took part.
Friendly Football, December 2025
Hampshire Cup, second round, November 2025
Hampshire Cup, first round matches, September 2025
Our boys' team played at home to Oliver's Battery and managed a resounding win to take them through to the next round.
“It was great to play together as usually we play against each other when we train.”
“I am looking forward to the next stage in the tournament.”
Meanwhile, ou
r girls' team travelled to Purbrook Juniors where they were unlucky not to go through after conceding a goal in the first half and then narrowly missing an equaliser as their shot on goal rebounded off the crossbar. Great play from the whole team who are looking forward to their next match in the Hampshire Plate.
“I had so much fun taking part in the team for the first time.”
“It was great to take part and I really enjoyed myself.”
