School Sport

At Ely St John's, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to participate and compete in sport at a level that suits them. We aim to ensure all children develop their confidence and competence in PE and sport whilst nurturing a positive attitude to physical activity.

Many sporting activities at Ely St John's are supported by sports premium funding.  

We partner with Active Play for the many and varied sports competitions we enter. Please keep an eye on our newsletters for updates on our recent sporting activities and successes! 

Children have two hours of dedicated PE each week as part of our curriculum.

This is further extended by the many after-school clubs we run.

In addition, there are plenty of local sports clubs to explore. 



Monitoring of Swimming Outcomes

Schools are required to report on swimming levels at the end of key stage 2.

National curriculum requirements for swimming and water safety state that pupils should:

  • swim confidently, competently and proficiently over a distance of 25m
  • use a range of strokes effectively
  • perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations


In 2024/25, 82% of our year 6 children met all three criteria above.
