Sports Leaders

At the beginning of the new academic year, Year 6 pupils all undertake a 3-hour Sports Leadership programme during their Physical Education lessons. This 3-hour programme allows pupils to get a feel for what it is like to lead sports based sessions with their peers. The pupils look at the important role of a Sports Leader, organising their time and space during a session, selecting the appropriate equipment to use and leading physical activities/sports.

Once the 3 hour Sports Leadership programme has been completed, pupils are invited to apply for the role of Sports Leaders at Abbot’s Hall Community Primary School.
