Sports Leaders
At Hiltingbury, we have an enthusiastic group of Sports Leaders from across the school who are keen to improve P.E, School Sport and Physical Activity (PESSPA) across the school. Sports Leaders apply at the start of each academic year by writing a letter of application stating why they think they would make an excellent candidate for the job and most importantly, why they want to be one!
Sports Leaders help to organise and lead events such as Sports Day, Inter-house Sports and give opinions on what they would like our PE and sport provision at Hiltingbury to offer in the future.
In addition, our Sports Leaders lead playground games and activities each lunchtime for children to enjoy, increasing the amount of physical activity they are doing. They lead games and also look after the P.E equipment. This role develops important values such as friendship, respect and kindness as well as building their confidence and communication skills throughout the year.
The children play an invaluable role in promoting a healthy lifestyle amongst their peers and are keen to support their peers in getting enough physical activity.
Our Sports Leaders are:
- Passionate
- Considerate
- Kind
- Respectful
- Inclusive
- Creative
- Motivated
What our Sports Leaders say about the role:
“I enjoy spreading my love of sport with other children.”
“We love finding new, creative games for children to play and enjoy.”
“The role has helped give me more confidence.”
