Sports Leader update:

Some of the children in year 4, 5 and 6 at Mansel Park have chosen to be a part of our sports leader team. The role of a Sports leader is to support active sessions during lunchtime to engage children within different types of sports for both KS1 and KS2. The children had a great opportunity where they have been able to take part in Sports Leader training with our fantastic Superstar Sports coaches. The Sports Leaders are split into 2 groups delivering KS1 games and KS2 games, they have already shown the ability to adapt sessions depending on age and abilities to make sure everyone is engaged. 

The benefits of ‘Sports Leaders’ are that it encourages young people to take responsibility and develop leadership skills. It also continues to develop skills such as organisation, communication, confidence and self esteem alongside planning and reviewing activities.
