Sport At Welbeck2

Every academic year, a group of students who have a keen interest in sports coaching and leadership are selected as Sports Leaders. Students have the chance to lead 30-minute sessions to their peers in a variety of sports during weekly interventions, where they also learn important group leadership techniques. Sports leaders are also essential to the operation of whole school events, organizing and supervising groups as well as offering general support to ensure the smooth operation of school competitions.

In addition to fostering a lifetime enjoyment of physical activity, Welbeck Primary School's extensive PE program seeks to engage, excite, and challenge students' understanding of sport and physical education. Our curriculum design's core principle is to build a love of movement by delivering enjoyable PE lessons that promote maximal activity time in a safe space where students feel free to express themselves and take positive risks. Additionally, we are passionate about using sport as a vehicle to enhance personal qualities such as respect, cooperation, and resilience. In EYFS and KS1, students learn a range of concept-based skills, as they enter KS2, these skills are built upon and developed further through specific sports.

To further promote student participation in sports and physical activity before, during, and after the school day, we provide a wide range of extracurricular clubs. Students can begin their day with exercise by jogging laps around our local park as part of the Kilometre Club, a whole school program that runs Tuesday through Friday from 8:30 am to 8:45 am. The goal is to beat their own personal best, special recognition is given to individuals who have demonstrated effort and perserverance each term, as well as prizes for the most kilometers ran. In addition, we offer after-school programs in a number of sports every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday as well as basketball club on a Tuesday and Thursday lunchtime.

Welbeck Primary School students have numerous opportunities to represent their school in a range of athletic competitions, leagues, and festivals. We participate in sports including athletics, dodgeball, touch rugby, and more at the many School Sport Festivals held each term in close collaboration with Nottinghamshire Sport. We have a competitive school football squad that plays against other local schools in the Nottingham Schools Football League. Additionally, there is a girl’s team that competes in several tournaments throughout the year, including the Notts County Primary Stars Cup. We are also proud to host a number of in-school events, including the Easter Run, Welbeck Wimbledon, Welbeck World Cup, and Sports Days.
