Sport is central to achievement and effort is encouraged through team and individual games at school and through inter-school competitions and tournaments.
Here is our new PE whole school curriculum overview:
We believe that sport helps to build confidence and promotes our school values of excellence. In addition to this, KS2 children have swimming lessons. Specialist instructors take weekly swimming lessons at Stockbridge Village Leisure Centre.
We offer a range of sports and encourage a life-long positive attitude towards healthy living and sport. As a school, through the Knowsley Schools Sports Partnership, pupils from Roby Park are able to attend and compete in a wide range of sporting competitions against other local schools. School offers a wide range of extra-curricular clubs each half term which equip our children with the skills to compete and excel in sporting competitions.
Pupils are encouraged to try a wide range of outward-bound activities during the Year 6 residential school trips. These can include climbing, abseiling, high ropes courses, challenge courses, raft building and archery.
We are privileged to have our own Sports Coach here at Roby Park who provides CPD support, character mentoring and mindfulness sessions, lunchtime supervision and extra-curricular clubs.
We have invested heavily into scooters through Scoot Fit. Our Scoot Fit school exercise and active travel programme is sustainable and will keep your children active and healthy. Find out more about Scoot Fit here.
We are fortunate enough to have secured significant funding from Sport England to invest into sports equipment which would supplement our curriculum and enable us to offer a wider range of extra-curricular clubs which include the involvement of parents.
Sadly our @OPAL_CIC parent play session was rained off with an amber weather warning but it has been rescheduled for Thursday 6th June. Fingers crossed the weather is better! Sign up here if you would like to join us for some outdoor fun: https://forms.gle/ZZwWy2KaX7bapKPo7

WOW! What a great Sports Day! We showed great teamwork by cheering on our friends and we tried our very best at each of the stations including running, long jump, javelin, speed bounce and more! #RPEnrichment
Well done to our golden welly winner this week. He has been very collaborative and included other children in his play. His kindness has been spotted by many different staff.
For the third year running, @NextEnergyUK are sponsoring our PE kits which means every child will receive a FREE PE tracksuit and logo tshirt for the next academic year. Thank you so much for all the support this incredible company shows us
club is so popular that we have opened up an extra 30 places! If your child would like to stay and have an extra hour of fun in a safe environment, get them signed up. Please don’t forget children need wellies for them not to miss out on the field fun!
To launch all of our exciting new @OPAL_CIC resources, we are going to host a launch day this Mon for the chn. All chn need to come in to school wearing their PE kits and trainers, with their wellies also to keep in school. Children are only allowed on the field with wellies.
Summer term extra curricular clubs are live on Parent Booking at midday today. Please note our @OPAL_CIC play sessions are family events and parents/carers are to accompany their child. Younger siblings are welcome but are the responsibility of parents/carers
Today we had lots of fun attending our first kin-ball competition. The children showed great team work and sportsmanship as they competed against other local schools, the children were amazing and even left with some medals!
Check our OPAL dream for our grounds. We want to provide the best opportunities for play and so we have been working very hard behind the scenes. Exciting things are coming in the Summer term
