We are fortunate to have access to superb sports facilities at Shakespeare Junior School. Our large playing field is used for teaching football, tag rugby, hockey, cricket, rounders and athletics and the playground is used for netball, multi sports, short tennis and many other sports activities. Gymnastics (Real PE) and dance (lead by an experience instructor) are taught in our well-equipped hall. We also access to Fleming Park Swimming Pool enabling every Year 5 pupil at Shakespeare Junior School to enjoy a swimming lessons as part of their curriculum learning.
