This week, (week commencing 23rd September) we have been incredibly impressed with the children’s written applications, speech presentations and friendly campaigning for the chance to be elected for the role of Sports Captain, one of a number of positions of leadership that we develop at Coton. As with any democratic vote, we acknowledge that for some individuals the outcome may bring a sense of disappointment but we are immensely proud of every candidate for having the Coton Courage to put themselves forward. A huge CONGRATULATIONS to this year's successful nominees. 
 

What will we be doing?

The captains will be supporting teaching staff with the delivery of all things PESSPA within our school. They will:

• Be role models to younger pupils by promoting the importance of being healthy and enjoying sport as well as showing exemplary attendance, appearance, manners, attitude and behaviour. 
• Contribute to the organisation of sports resources.
• Support the PE lead in the planning and co-ordinating school sports day and whole school PESSPA events.
• Assist and support during lunch times with sports and physical activities. 
• Be voices for their peers.
• Be involved in PESSPA presentations in weekly Celebration Assemblies. 
• Wear the Sports Captain's badge

What can you do?

If you have anything you would like the sports captains to consider or discuss to enhance PE lessons in school, improve accessibility to physical activity during the school day or make school sport more attractive please talk to us!

We can’t promise to make everything happen but we can promise to listen and try our very best to ensure that PE, School Sport and Physical Activity is making a difference to you all!
