Excellence, Determination, Inspiration, Respect, Courage, Equality, Friendship
There is always a great deal of sporting activity going on at Lane End. From curriculum P.E. and Games to inter-class and inter-school competitions and events as well as our large range of sports clubs. Mrs Mealand is our P.E. Subject Leader.
Our sporting record has improved through deployment of the sports premium funding (see below). Amongst other sporting events, we have had considerable success in cross country, football, swimming and cricket. Successes have included winning the Stockport Girls' Football Tournament in 2013, 2014, 2015 and being runners up in 2016 (also hosting the finals each year), progressing to county championships in cricket, rising through the ranks in the Stockport Cross Country Championships (in 2016 the boys and girls teams both came third overall and there was much individual success for many children). In tennis our Y3 and Y4 teams reached the local finals in 2018.
In 2016 we also achieved the Silver Sport Mark and in 2018 with our continued hard work achieved the Gold School Games Mark. Each year we have won at least one 'Be Inspired' award for sport from Stockport Sports Partnership.
This year we are continuing our partnership with local sporting clubs - we are entering more inter-school events and our teams will be playing and representing Lane End with great success in tennis, cricket, gymnastics, lacrosse, cross-country, football and swimming.
