Sports Captains

This year the sports captains represent our four houses - Oak, Spruce, Hawthorn and Rowan, with one captain being responsible for each house.  

Our Sports Captains have been working hard this half term to help keep playtimes active and fun! They’ve been busy picking Sports Performers from each phase (Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4) and making sure these awards are ready to share in assemblies.

The Sports Captains have also supported PE lessons by helping to lead activities in Phase 4. They’ve shown great responsibility in collecting the football from the MUGA before the end of break and lunch to make sure everything runs smoothly.

 Looking ahead, they are planning ideas, rules, and scoring systems for more mini games in Phase 2 and 3 - we can't wait to let you know their ideas!

Autumn Term 2025 - An Update from our Sports Captains

Year 6 Sports Captains are continuing to work with staff to help to aid PE lessons as young coaches. Staff have commented on how well they encouraged everyone to play as a team and made sure that everyone felt valued. The Captains have been working on making sure they take the time to give individual feedback in a kind and supportive manner, which develops enthusiasm in the children. As coaches, they are working on making lessons fun and building confidence to ensure everyone can learn from them. Well done Sports Captains, we are so proud of excellent role models you are!

Sports Captains Feedback: 
"This year I started my role as a Sports Captain for Red Rowan. I applied for the position at the end of Year 5 by writing a letter to Mrs Jones, explaining my interest in the role, the qualities that would make me a good Sports Captain, and how I could support the school. I was thrilled to find out in the first week back after the summer holidays that I had been successful. I was even more excited to learn that three of my friends were also selected as Sports Captains, and that we would be working together as a team. At our very first Sports Captain meeting, we agreed that one of our main priorities was to improve access to sports equipment, especially balls. While organising this, we discovered many balls that had ended up behind the shed, which we collected and returned so they could be used again. This helped ensure more children across the school had the chance to take part in active play during break times and throughout their P.E lessons.

Every break time, all the Sports Captains take turns to collect the balls from the MUGA before the bell rings to return to class. This helps the games come to a calm and fair end, allowing everyone to shake hands and show good sportsmanship after a match.

As a Sports Captain, I also support our teachers during P.E. lessons by encouraging and motivating my fellow Rowans, helping others to join in, and promoting teamwork, respect and fair play. I try to be a positive role model by showing enthusiasm, responsibility and kindness, and by helping to make sport enjoyable and inclusive for everyone."

"In my Sports Captain role, I support my teachers in encouraging and motivating my friends during our P.E. lessons. I help to foster teamwork and to build a love of sport for life. I really enjoy leading our P.E. warm-ups because it energises Phase 4 and sets a positive, focused tone for the lessons. Each week, I also really enjoy collaborating with my fellow Sports Captains to help organise the weekly Sports Performer Award, which celebrates sporting achievement and promotes a positive sporting culture across the school." 

"Being a Sports Captain, I help my teachers set up and organise activity stations for Phase 4 P.E lessons, ensuring all equipment is ready to use. I am passionate about sports and enjoy inspiring others to develop a love for physical activity for life. I support and motivate my friends by encouraging them to try their best, work as a team, and stay positive. I lead by example to help everyone experience the benefits of exercise, such as building healthy habits, staying active, and having fun." 

"This year as the Sports Captain for Yellow Oak, we have supported our teachers in setting up P.E. activities at Milton Hall Sports Field and have supported our friends in Phase 4 within our P.E. lessons. We have helped to encourage teamwork, fair play and confidence, making sure everyone feels included, and we have acted as positive role models by demonstrating good sportsmanship and enthusiasm in every activity."
