Parkrun

                                                    

We've teamed up with parkrun UK to become a parkrun primary!

How does this benefit Hornton Primary School?

 1. Junior parkrun encourages children, families and staff to enjoy regular physical activity outside of school hours and lays the foundation for lifelong positive mindset towards movement.

2. Connecting with your local junior parkrun strengthens community links and fosters a sense of belonging. It provides opportunities for everyone to come together in a positive, inclusive environment outside the classroom.

3. It’s not just running and walking. Everyone can also volunteer with junior parkrun and build confidence, develop new skills, and contribute meaningfully to the community. These experiences support the national educational framework.

4. It offers the ability to put the PE and PSHE curriculum into practice in the real-world, demonstrating commitment to holistic education.

5. 67% of parents report that junior parkrun improves their child’s physical activity levels and their enjoyment of it too. Children report feeling proud, full of energy, and confident.

Our local junior parkrun is Spiceball Country Park junior parkrun which takes place every Sunday morning at 9am. We have some Hornton Primary School children who already take part regularly but it would be great to see more join in the Sunday morning fun.
