Extra-Curricular Activities
Playtime & Lunchtime Activities
A variety of equipment is available to all children during their playtimes and lunchtimes to provide them with the opportunity to continue their physical development. Our playground includes a multi-use games area (MUGA), trim-trails and bouldering walls, our quiet rockery, three outdoor classrooms and imaginative floor markings to aid the children’s play experiences. The children also have access to balance & pedal bikes and scooters.
Our children are given the opportunity to deliver games and activities through our Active Champions programme. These activities are for every year group and help to encourage physical activity in the playground.
The Killinghall Lunchtime Football League continues to be a huge success for year 5 & 6. This offers the children the opportunity to take part in a competitive league on a weekly basis, which is run, organised and lead by the children, including our very own Active Champions! We had over 90 children participate in 2021 – 22.
We also offer activities in the hall during lunchtimes, including badminton for KS2.
Competitions
Killinghall Primary School is an active participant in the Sainsbury School Games through Hanson Academy who organise and host weekly sporting competitions throughout the year. These competitions can lead to regional and county finals. Killinghall has also been awarded the School Games Bronze award for the high number of children participating in regular physical activity.
We also participate in the local community competitions held at Carlton Bolling working closely with nearby schools to arrange weekly inter-school fixtures to enable as many children as possible to experience inter-school sport and competition. These schools include Lapage Primary, Byron Primary, Dixons Marchbank, Barkerend & Peel Park.
The Daily Mile
In 2022-2023, all KS1 classes have been actively participating in the Daily Mile initiative, which aims to get children out in the playground every day for 15 minutes to engage in some form of physical activity, whether it is running, walking or skipping.
