Cycling
Cycling is our newest subject to be included in our PE curriculum here at Coundon. Our lessons are based on British Cycling's 'Go Ride' programme and the national 'Bikeability' programme.
We do not teach you to ride a bike during these lessons, but concentrate on developing the skills and techniques you need to ride your bike safely and confidently. We also do activities where you will learn some of the skills from a variety of cycle events such as BMX, track cycling and cyclo-cross. Hopefully, by the time you reach Year 6, you'll have learnt to ride safely enough to be riding with us out on the roads around school.
At the moment, we have worked with children in Years 5&6, but it will soon be the turn of Year 4 children to have a go. If you cannot ride a bike yet, ask your adult at home to help you, so you are ready to join in the fun at school! More...

Swimming
All children from Year 3 to Year 5 get the opportunity to swim as part of their PE lessons in school. Our lessons take place in the superb swimming pool at the 'Xcel' Leisure Centre in Canley, Coventry - they can even raise or lower the floor of the pool to make the water shallow or deep!
Keep an eye out for the letters telling your class when it is their turn to swim this year. More...
