Athletes

What do we know?

The Dolphin School is located in an inner city area and green spaces are a premium however we believe good physical skills lead to Healthy Lifestyles and improved Physical Literacy skills. Children will take part in dance, movement, gym and games. Children in KS2 will go swimming. We use specialist sports coaches to run free after school clubs for children. 
For one of these lessons we use a PE scheme which provides EVERY child the physical literacy, emotional and thinking skills to achieve in PE, Sport and life.

What do we want?

Children to have opportunities to be inspired and meet professional athletes so that they learn from local heroes and champions. To develop the skills of being a good sportsperson, to be able to follow rules, accept decisions, to work as a team. We will link learning to understand why sport is good for your body.

How will we achieve this?

Arrange athletes to visit the school and the children to visit a sporting venue so that they can experience seeing professional athletes. To contact schools in our community to arrange competitions.
