Cross Country Cluster Schools Competition 2022
At Bussage, we encourage the children to live active lifestyles. One of the ways that we do this is by taking part in the ‘Daily Mile’ which the children have the choice of walking, jogging or running. This has led to a huge number of our children becoming keen runners, so much so that we took a staggering 51 children to a recent cross-country event at Thomas Keble. It was fantastic to see the children participating, having fun and enjoying the overall experience. In the end, we came away with two 1st places, two 2nd places and two 3rd places – fantastic achievements all round.

Intra and Inter Competitions
At Bussage, we try to encourage as many children as possible to get involved in competition. There are two types of competition, intra and inter.
Intra competition involves competing against others in school. We do this through an annual sports day, matches in PE and whole school events such as Spring Cup.
Inter competition involves competing against other schools. Annually, we compete in netball, football, tag rugby, cross country and athletics which are run across Stroud District for KS2, and multi skills for KS1. We also arrange friendly matches against other schools in these sports.
