Athletics

Athletic is coached to all school years in PE lessons and also in 3 after school activity clubs. We have a highly qualified and enthusiastic group of coaches who encourage boys and girls of all abilities to excel and enjoy.

In Years 3-5 the basic jumps, principles of throwing, sprints and middle distance running are taught. In Years 6-8 the technical events like shot, javelin and discus are introduced.

All pupils try to achieve “standards” in athletics and these count to the athletic pinnacle of term-Sports Day. As you would expect at Brandeston, every competes in at least 3 events in tiered events (wherever possible)!

Competition-wise, we attend 6 meets during the summer term and these include meetings at Cambridge University, Norwich UEA, Bedford International Stadium and The Alexander Stadium in Birmingham. We also attend the Suffolk AAAs Championships and boast numerous County Champions in a variety of disciplines

Competition at this level allows our pupils to compete at the very highest level and we proud to say we have had numerous pupils win medals at the National Prep Schools Finals.

Brandeston also host the North Suffolk Schools Championships and have the astonishing record of winning the boys event 4 years out of 5 and the girls event 6 years running.
