Sports Events

At Scissett CE Academy we use our Sports Premium Funding to ensure sporting opportunities for pupils are wide and varied.  This includes sports coaches teaching alternative sports such as Orienteering.  We actively encourage pupils to take part in our after school programme.  Beyond this we encourage links between local sporting clubs and our pupils so they can continue to be active beyond the school day.

PYRAMID COMPETITIONS
We are proud of our pupils' many sports achievements, both individually and as a team and we love competing in sporting events within our pyramid.  The children have the opportunity to represent their school in numerous events including football, cricket, cross country, hockey, and sports hall athletics.  Pupils are given the opportunity to go on to represent their county if they are successful.
 
SPORTS PARTNERSHIP
Children regularly attend Shelley College Sports Partnership events during school time and as part of enrichment.  This enables them to develop their skills and confidence across a wide variety of sports working collaboratively with pupils from other schools.  Events include multiskills and sports hall athletics.
 

KS2 Kwik Cricket Tournament (June 2026)

A huge well done to our Year 5 and Year 4 cricket teams who represented our school at the the Shelley Pyramid KS2 Cricket Festival. Both teams played with pride and passion, motivating and encouraging each other and shaking hands with every opposition team at the end of each game.

Cumberworth First School were the overall tournament winners with the Year 5 team coming a very close second, only losing the tournament by two wickets.

Thankyou to everyone who came to support our teams and thank you to Skelmanthorpe Cricket Club for hosting the event.

 

Whole School - Yoga (January 2026)

We had a wonderful day of yoga with Mrs Coulson who is our School Games Organiser. Every class had a session of storytelling through yoga which really helped us to be flexible, practise balance and be more mindful in our day. It was great to work in person with Mrs Coulson as she organises many sporting events throughout Kirklees and she awards the School Games Mark for our local area - we are going for gold again this year! 

Y2 Multiskills Event - Shelley College (October 2025)

Year 2 had a great time at Shelley College today when they attended the Shelley Pyramid Year 2 Multiskills event. They tried lots of different activities from basketball to rugby, yoga to javelin and football to jumping activities. Well done everyone!
It was great to see some of our past students helping the children learn new skills.
