Eastnor are pleased to participate in so much sport, both within curriculum time and also at extra-curricular events. Within the curriculum, children are given a minimum of 2 hours of quality PE teaching each week. Within the school week, many sports clubs across both Key Stages are offered, including hockey, tag rugby, football, netball, fitness and conditioning in the winter, and then cricket, rounders and athletics in the summer. We also have professional practitioners and club leaders that come to the school to deliver top-quality sports clubs.

Every year, we welcome coaches from Herefordshire FA to run football workshops with all of our children, from Reception right up to our oldest children in Year 6. Staff are also given coaching tips from the football experts for their own professional development, and clubs are run in lunchtimes for children who want to gain extra skill in this sport. We have also welcomed professionals from Malvern Tennis Club to work with all children in the summer on their tennis skills.

Eastnor maintain strong links with their Pyramid High School; John Masefield. We attend meetings every year to talk about what events in sport they can host. It is a great opportunity for the children to connect with the secondary school and make use of their facilities. At John Masefield we take part in the Herefordshire School Games heats in netball, hockey, sportshall athletics, tennis and rounders. We also take children to compete in their cross-country event, The Trudge every year, as well as attending inclusion events that look at experiencing new sports such as Try Golf, Tchoukball and Table Tennis. Our links with John Masefield also run into our Family Sports Day. Held at Eastnor Cricket Club, we welcome sports leaders from the High School to help run a successful sports event for our school. It is fantastic to take children across all key stages to play on the John Masefield facilities and improve their confidence across a range of sports.

Our school believe in the values of community, and with this in mind, we participate in many sporting events with our local cluster of primary schools and other local community organisations. We take part in football, tag rugby and netball leagues run by Ledbury Primary School, and always take teams to the Pyramid Football and Netball tournaments, and a rounders tournament in the summer. We also take part in the Primary tag-rugby festival run by Ledbury RFC.

As well as all of this, we make good use of the links on our own estate, and thanks to a wonderful partnership with Eastnor Cricket Club, we hold our very own cluster Cricket Tournament every summer.

We may be the smallest school in the Ledbury cluster but we have big ambitions! During the 2021/2022 academic year, our Netball team were crowned County Champions.

From little acorns mighty oaks grow!
