Sports Ambassadors

At our school we believe that all children should have experience of a range of sports with access to high quality teaching and coaches. From badminton and orienteering, to football, tag-rugby, cricket and golf there is plenty on offer to prepare our children for future healthy lifestyles. We are proud to say that by the end of year 4 all children will have had the chance to represent their school in a sporting event. 

Our Sports Ambassadors are a group of children whose aim is to promote physical engagement with children across the school. They meet regularly with Mr Read to plan opportunities for the encouragement and promotion of physical activity, while ensuring that the values of the School Games is central to their work. The six School Games values – Passion, Self-Belief, Respect, Honesty, Determination and Teamwork – were developed by young people to recognize how the experience of sport should be incorporated within schools and sports events to reflect the 'spirit' of the School Games.

Our Sports Ambassadors are proposed by school staff and successful candidates are the awarded their ambassador badge in our celebrations assembly at the start of the academic year. The Sports Ambassadors attend training alongside other schools throughout the year.
