From Year 3 upwards, children may apply to become members of our Sports Crew. The Sports Crew are representative of all children across school and are responsible, respectful and active citizens. In their role they: 

• develop their leadership skills through P.E. lessons and Happy Healthy Lunchtimes 
• contribute to the design and implementation of our P.E and sport curriculum (including lunchtimes)
• support our teachers from a pupil perspective, for example modelling skills in lessons
• learn to coach and officiate sporting events and competitions
• act as the 'pupil voice' from their classes and year groups 

Our Sports Motto

“In sport we never give up; we win with pride and lose with dignity”

Our sports motto was designed by members of our Sports Crew. Throughout school, within all aspects of our PE curriculum, children and staff refer to our motto when sport gets tough! It helps children build resilience, sportsmanship, and perseverance when faced with challenges.

Happy Healthy Lunchtimes 

Our sports crew play an active role in designing and implementing our Happy Healthy Lunchtimes, which take place daily. They carefully consider the range of sports offered to ensure all children are included, taking into account pupil voice from across the school. The team also monitors the use of resources and sports equipment, carrying out audits and placing orders with our curriculum lead when necessary. Here is an example of a Happy Healthy Lunchtime rota: 

Competition Week 

Every half term, Key Stage 2 children take part in ‘Competition Week’ during their PE lessons. These weeks provide opportunities for additional competitive sports, helping children to develop physical skills while learning how to overcome setbacks. They build resilience, determination, and self-esteem, as well as mental endurance and a drive to achieve their personal best.  Children are awarded certificates for participation and for demonstrating good sportsmanship and a positive attitude toward success.

National School Sports Week  

National School Sports Week is an exciting time for our entire school, especially for the Sports Crew. Children across the school, along with members of our local community, come together at the local cricket grounds to celebrate competitive sport. The Sports Crew play a key role in planning, organising, and running the week’s events, leading younger children in mini competitions between classes. This provides a fantastic opportunity for them to develop leadership and officiating skills while showcasing their sporting expertise.
