At St Polycarp's we promote Sports Leadership for our pupils for the following reasons:

  • to develop confidence and self esteem
  • to encourage our children to work collaboratively
  • to enable children to be innovators
  • to encourage our children to be creative
  • to promote good communication and listening skills
  • to use their passion and enthusiasm to inspire and influence others
  • to enable them to have a route to be helpful and show commitment
  • to enable them to act as role models for other children
  • to give them opportunities to write applications for roles
  • to provide a pupil voice 

The Sports Leadership Groups are as follows:

  • Sports Crew x 12
  • Healthy School Ambassadors x 12
  • PhysiFun Leaders x 24
  • Surrey County Council Youth Games Ambassadors x 7
  • Active Surrey Gifted and Talented Leaders Group x 5
  • Surrey School Games Ambassadors x 5
  • Sports Council representatives x 14

  • Young Sports Leaders x 24 ( First Steps to Leadership (for Years 2&3): first piloted at St Polycarp's Catholic Primary School for Active Surrey, this two hour training session introduces budding young leaders to some of the areas involved in overseeing and helping manage activities within school.)

All the above groups receive training for their roles either within school or off site by Active Surrey providers or other sporting bodies.
