William Bellamy reach East Primary Final

February 8th, 2016

The year 5 and 6 athletics team had a fantastic day at the athletics finals. 8 teams made it through to the final stage. The pupils had to participate in a range of activities. The competition was amazing, the standard of the schools were so high. Our team were so positive, they cheered each other on and supported each other through the nerves and anxiety.

When the results were announced, we could not believe how close the top 3 schools were. The winners of the competition only had 8 more points than us and the second place school only had 2 more points than us. We were very happy with 3rd place but couldn't believe how close we were to the winners. Our training definitely paid off.

All teaching and support staff were so proud of all the athletics that took part, they demonstrated fantastic sportsmanship to all other participants.

Tag Rugby Intra Competition

Every Friday afternoon our school pupils will be participating in an Intra school competition. To celebrate the Rugby World Cup we decided that our first competition should be tag rugby. Congratulations to Gold class who won the competition.

AthleFIT at William Bellamy Primary

The parents at William Bellamy primary school had a wonderful time at the parents coffee morning when they were introduced to AthleFIT. The parents had fun while completing games and activities. AthleFIT is a brand new fitness programme from England Athletics which combines athletics with a fun and exciting programme of getting and keeping fit and will "take athletics to the people " providing accessible non competitive fitness sessions based upon athletics and ultimately - where there is a desire - a link through to athletics clubs and competition.

Thank you Miss Dance for our netball club

The pupils in year 5 and 6 are really enjoying our netball club which is delivered by Miss Dance each week. The pupils are improving their footwork and learning the names and roles of each position. Not only are our pupils having a great time while learning new skills, they are also enjoying the social aspects which are linked so closely to playing a sport. Miss Dance is so enthusiastic about keeping fit and healthy while learning the rules of the game that all the children are following her good example and thinking about how their netball club is helping them stay healthy. Thank you to Miss Dance for giving up your time and being such an inspiring netball teacher!

Cross Country trials for years 3, 4, 5 and 6

The PE staff at William Bellamy have the difficult task of trialling all of the pupils in all 4 year groups to select the final pupils to enter the borough's cross country championships in October 2015. The trials are designed to not only select the team but also encourage all pupils to challenge themselves. At William Bellamy we aim to be more active and have 80% of our pupils taking part in a sport or physical activity at least once a week. For those pupils who were unable to run the distance they are now challenging themselves to run at a steady pace for a distance that challenges them but also is achievable. For those who have made it through to the final trial, they will be challenging each other to make it through to the final team. Good Luck everyone!

Barking and Dagenham Schools' District Football Trials September 2015

Well done to the year 6 boys who were sent to the Barking and Dagenham schools' district football trials. Sion, Sid, Nehemi, Joshea and Kye were all selected to attend the borough's district football trials. All boys were very well behaved and respectful. The football was at a very high standard and all the boys played very well. Unfortunately, only 3 of the boys went through to the second trail. Again, all boys worked very hard and played well. 

On Monday 21st September, we received an email from the BDSFA to inform us that Kye had made it through to the final trial. All boys were very respectful of this decision and we would like to wish Kye the best of luck in the third trial. Well done to all boys involved, we are all very proud of your efforts.  September 2015

Don't Dodge Sport

William Bellamy primary has been very lucky to work with a local organisation to deliver their Don't Dodge Sport project. This project is aimed at children to encourage them to play more sport and be more active. This project is through The Rose Sport and Education Association and is funded by the summer Freesport in association with The Mayor of London and Coca-cola Park Life. This project offers over 60 children 8 weeks of free dodgeball. We have had a fantastic response and the pupils can progress to the affiliated dodgeball club which is held at our school.

Extra Curricular Activities

At William Bellamy we aim to provide our pupils with high quality extra curricular activities. We regularly observe the companies and agencies we work with. For this reason we only arrange an agreement with external providers for one term unless we feel it is in our pupils best interests to extend this.

We use various ways of assessing the best provider for our pupils. We speak with parents, teachers, pupils, staff as well as our office staff to ensure that the providers we use are the best for our school and our pupils.
