Our role as sports leaders is to support and help develop the children in our school family 

The Sport Leader role develops important values such as patience, friendship, compassion and kindness and at SMC, our Sports Leaders play an important role in our PE provision. The Sports Leaders regularly meet and have an opportunity to share their own thoughts and opinions surrounding our PE provision and how it can be made even better.

Our Sport leaders are trained at the beginning of the year to lead activities and games with all ages of children within school and are taught important qualities that are needed to work with young people. Our Sport Leaders work with both EYFS and KS1 children on a rota basis each lunchtime to lead games and ensure playtimes are inclusive for everyone.

We also have a rota for KS2 which involves several activities that the Sports Leaders organise and run, with the guidance of our lunchtime supervisors and other support staff. These activities can include tennis, cricket, basketball, target games and lots more.

The Sports Leader role is a fantastic role to help build confidence and communication skills in young people. Sports Leaders have many opportunities to organise and lead events throughout the year such as Sports Days and other intra school events such as cross country events. The Leaders support at Trust events too such as KS1 multi skills festivals and are a huge support in the organisation and delivery of such events. 

NPCAT Sport have developed a Leadership award for the Sport Leaders in order to give them recognition for their hard work. These awards go from Bronze through to Platinum. In 2022/23 our Sports Leaders were awarded the Silver Leadership award. We are going to try to top that in 2023/24!
