At Netherton CofE, we pride ourselves on the love our children have for sport and being active.  We teach our children to not only take part, but also lead certain parts of the lesson.  The children who excel in this are then chosen to be our Sports leaders.  This job involves them giving up a great deal of their own time at lunch to deliver activities to the other children to help maintain positive behaviour and achieve our aim of 60 active minutes for every child, every day.

Selecting our Sports Leaders

The children chosen show excellent leadership qualities, empathy, understanding and are able to organise and communicate with others. 

They have the responsibility for organising games, setting up equipment and then coaching and refereeing while the children take part.  They are easily recognised by their bright red t-shirts that they wear both on duty and in PE lessons.  They take real pride in this and the personal growth they go through once being given this role is commendable.  This is a role that many children aim for during their time at school and is something that we at Netherton believe is an important part of our school community.
