We present Physical Education and Games in such a way that each activity is fun, which will lead to achievement and progress, which in turn brings recognition and promotes self-worth. We also promote Effort + Motivation + Persistence which ultimately equals SUCCESS.

Specifically, we:

• Ensure all our children, through their experiences at LGS Stoneygate, develop a love of sport and physical activity which will serve them throughout their lives.
• Develop an attitude of mind that is an important part of sporting success: self-discipline, physical and mental commitment, a desire to win yet the ability to lose gracefully and have respect for one’s opponents and authority.
• Encourage team sports in the belief that it is important for children to learn to work as part of a group, and in doing so to be unselfish and supportive, and to develop the team spirit which is vital, not only in sport, but also within life generally.
• Provide all pupils with the coaching, training and match opportunities which will allow them to develop and provide a skill foundation for future development. All children will have similar opportunities and be included in matches at an appropriate level feeling equally valued.

At LGS Stoneygate we have a number of pupils who excel in their chosen sport from Rugby to Swimming. As a school we are proud of their achievements, which come through hard work and commitment to their sport. They represent our School, their County and also compete at National level. We recognise these athletes require support and encouragement from us as a school: from support with homework to ensuring they are able to eat at certain times of the day.

We pride ourselves on the array of sporting opportunities our pupils are given. The major games at LGS Stoneygate include Rugby, Football, Hockey and Cricket for boys, and Hockey, Netball, Rounders and Cricket for girls.

From Year 2 to Year 8 all pupils will have two half term blocks of swimming/water polo at the Leicester Grammar School indoor swimming pool. We compete in swimming galas against other South Leicestershire schools.

In PE lessons throughout the academic year, children will also complete a half term of the following activities:

• Pre-prep (Reception - Year 2): Dance, Gymnastics, Athletics and Games
• Prep (Year 3 - 6): Dance, Gymnastics, Athletics, Cross Country and Tennis.
• Senior School (Year 7 - 11): Athletics, Cross Country, Basketball, Mixed Football, Tennis and Volleyball.

Our Year 9 pupils begin preparing for their IGCSEs and this includes PE and Games. Some of our pupils choose to take IGCSE PE in Year 10 and 11. In preparation for this, our older pupils take part in Games at Leicester Grammar School.

Every pupil takes part in our annual Sports Day. Pupils represent their League and are grouped: 

• Pre-prep Sports - Mid-morning and Lunch
• Prep Sports - Afternoon and Tea
• Senior School Sports - Afternoon and Tea

This gives the parents an opportunity to come and see their children taking part in exciting, fun events, with an element of competition.

The PE Department also organise extra events for the pupils. These events include a Christmas pre-prep production with an element of dance, pre-prep gymnastic display, Morris Mile Obstacle Course, an invitational netball & football tournament, special guests to inspire the pupils and many other exciting events. We are always looking for new initiatives and opportunities to inspire our pupils.
