At St Margaret’s we aim to provide a PE curriculum which inspires a love of sport, movement and a healthy lifestyle. We have partnered with ITFC foundation to help deliver this aim. ITFC Foundation provide sporting opportunities for all year groups at break times, lunch times, during lessons and after school. We aspire for our children to leave primary school with the necessary skills and knowledge for their later life. Our PE curriculum ensures we cover all essential sports ranging from striking and fielding, invasion games, net games, athletics, dance, gymnastics and officiating. Our curriculum also allows for progression of various skills as well as developing leadership, team work and confidence. We are proud members of the Suffolk School Games, receiving a gold award in 2022-2023 academic year. This membership allows us to participate in an array of inter-school competitions, keep an eye out for these on our school website!

Hello I am Mr Durrant a Sports Coach at St Margaret's Primary school.

I love all sports especially Football and Cricket. My passion is well and truly sport!

I  coach sporting teams outside of school at the weekends, I am also a Ipswich Town season ticket holder where I love to go to watch the Town with my family.

In the summer holidays one of my favourite things to do is going to watch Essex county cricket club play at Chelmsford.

In school PE. The children learn a wide range of new  sporting skills, they develop how to work as a team and gain confidence which can be used across the school and in their everyday lives.

At St Margaret's we run before and after school clubs, which are always very popular. football, netball, hockey  and rugby club are to name just a few.

We also have plenty of sporting activities for the children at play and lunchtimes which I lead. They include target games, throwing and catching equipment, skipping challenges  and much more. 

I always try to keep PE fun, there is nothing better than seeing the children take part in PE but also do it with a smile on their faces!

Hello, I am Miss Ross, leader of PE with Mr Durrant.

I have a long love of sport, I played all sports, mainly football throughout all of my childhood and into adulthood. I coached both boys and girls at grassroots and elite level for multiple years. I am a season ticket holder at Ipswich Town and very much enjoy following the town up and down the country! I will be running the girls football team and helping organise the curriculum.

I hope here at St Margaret's that children will develop a love for sport through a nurturing environment where they try new things, develop fundamental skills, develop confidence and build teamwork and resilience. We offer a range of sports in our PE lessons, before school, lunch clubs and after school clubs. I hope these opportunities can help the children to develop a love and passion for sports.

I look forward to continuing to develop the PE here alongside Mr Durrant and the ITFC Foundation!
