Athletics and Other Sporting Activities at Temple Bank

Temple Bank pupils enjoy a wide variety of sporting activities which they can take part in. Most of these activities take place during the PE and outdoor education lessons, as well as on residentials. These activities range from mountain biking and canoeing, to cricket, and goal ball.

One of the main sports activities in Temple Bank is athletics. We follow award schemes, which are set up by Thistle Athletics, who are professionals in this field. Many children achieve high standards in these events, achieving gold and silver awards.

This scheme allows the competitor to try out cricket ball throwing, shot putting, 60m sprint, 100m sprint, 400m sprint, 800m sprint, discus throwing, long jump, triple jump and many others, so each child gains knowledge of a wide variety of events.

The scheme compensates for age differences and along with the other PE activities helps to keep the children here at Temple Bank fit and healthy.
