Sport Leaders

At Our Lady’s RC Primary School, our Sports Leaders play an important role in promoting teamwork, inclusion and healthy lifestyles across the school.

Sports Leaders are pupils who demonstrate enthusiasm, responsibility and a positive attitude towards sport and physical activity.

Sports Leaders are trained to:

  • Support the organisation of games and activities at playtimes
  • Encourage participation and inclusion for all pupils
  • Promote fair play and respect
  • Model positive sporting behaviour
  • Assist with school sporting events and competitions

They help ensure playtimes are active, safe and enjoyable for everyone.

They act as role models, demonstrating our school values of being Ready, Respectful and Safe.
