Our children are actively encouraged to celebrate their own personal sporting achievements outside of school during our assembly times, where children are invited to bring along any awards, trophies or certificates they may have won during the previous week or weekend. We believe that treating personal achievements in this way builds our children’s confidence, self-esteem and resilience and gives physical development a raised profile within our school.

We understand that not all of our children have access to additional clubs or activities outside of school, therefore we build mini-competitions and tournaments in to every half term for every child in our school. In addition to this, we also take our children to competitions outside of school and expose our children to formal competition outlets. We find that this kind of experience improves our children’s confidence and resilience and actually impacts on other areas of their learning.
