We thoroughly enjoy sport at Yattendon and feel very proud to have achieved the School Games Gold Award in 2017/18.  There is sport in school everyday, through our Daily Mile, PE lessons and clubs. Our Sports Coach, Mr. Bint, is in school on Thursdays and Fridays. He teaches PE, coaches high attaining pupils, encourages  less active pupils, develops leadership in sport and also helps pupils develop motor skills through small group sessions. 

We take part in a wide range of competitions throughout the county, specialising in netball and cross-country.  We encourage our pupils to try new sports through enrichment visits and visitors. Swimming lessons are in Year 3 and 4.  Level 2 Bikeability is provided for Year 5 and 6.

Teaching staff are trained with the 'REAL PE' programme and all hold the 'Outdoor Leader' Award.
