At Longfleet we are proud of not only the amount of competitive sport on offer, but also the breadth of competitive sports we have.
KS1:
We aim to include as many children to represent Longfleet at Key Stage as possible. This could be our Year 1/2 Cubs football team, to multi-skills festivals around the Poole area. 2024 saw the inaugural "CLP Festival of Sport", where all the schools in our partnership "competed" in a multi-skills type event. This was held in July and will continue again this year - with over 150 children across the partnership taking part.
KS2:
We pride ourselves on producing as many teams as possible in each sport to represent the school. For instance in Year 5/6 Netball there may be up to four teams, as many as there are in Year 3/4 Football. As well as being in local Netball and Football leagues, we also aim to play as many friendlies as possible, especially for those in the C and D teams.
Running Club on a Tuesday lunchtime has produced a hard-working team of cross-country runners, who regularly go to events around the county. Other sports are heavily attended in the spring and summer months, including tag-rugby, cricket, tennis athletics and multi-sports.
SEND Sport:
We also offer excellent opportunities to represent the school for SEND children. We host two SEND Panathlons per year. One as a multi-skills festival at Longfleet, the other as a ten-pin bowling event at Hollywood Bowl! Recently we have attended sailing regattas, watersports events, boccia tournaments and table-cricket matches. We also provide a weekly swimming session with a professional swimming coach for those with SEND.
