Sport - Team Morland

At Morland School, children have the opportunity to experience a wide range of sports, gymnastics, dance and outdoor education through our integrated SPORTS PROGRAMME. Teaching and non-teaching staff hold a variety of coaching awards and have a vast range of experience in the teaching of Physical Education. We also work closely with visiting sports coaches as part of our PE programme, ensuring that our children have access to a very high standard of PE. In the last 2 years children across the school have had opportunities to experience: Sailing, Dance, Lacrosse, Quicksticks Hockey, Cross Country Running, Multi Skills, Gymnastics, Ball Skills, Karate, Archery, Athletics, Swimming, Razzmattaz, Horse Riding and Outdoors Education. These activities have been aided through the Sport Allocation Grant.

We are very proud of the children’s attitude to sport at Morland and the enrichment it brings to the curriculum.  We compete in a spectrum of inter-school competitions including Cross Country, Football, High Five Netball, Tag Rugby, Hockey, Lacrosse, Dodgeball, Swimming and Qwik Cricket. We are part of the Eden Valley Alliance (EVA) PE Group and attend monthly events with other local schools.

At Morland School we really value the outdoors and use the Physical Education curriculum to embrace our local environment through our unique and innovative programme of activities. Situated in a fantastic location in rural Cumbria, we have an excellent outdoor area, including a large playing field, and children are enthusiastic to get outside.  Many children have the freedom to follow their interests through our range of afterschool clubs, such as Gymnastics for KS1 and 2, Netball club, Football Club, Razzmattaz, Action Ants and Tag Rugby as well as the many sporting groups and clubs they participate in outside of school.
