Nearly 50 students applied to join the newly formed Sports Council and Action Group, highlighting strong enthusiasm for leadership through sport. Sixteen students from Years 5 and 6 were selected to represent the student voice, support major sporting events and help shape opportunities for younger pupils. Their first role will be supporting the Key Stage 1 Sports Day on 4th November. Throughout the year, they will also receive training and mentoring to lead lunchtime activities for Key Stage 1 students, encouraging greater participation in physical activity while developing their own leadership skills, confidence and sense of responsibility.
