Sport changes lives!
Miss Kentish
PE & Sports Leader
Physical Education and Sport are highly valued here at YWCPS. We endeavour to support children with their physical development in a way that is fun and inclusive for all! All children in school take part in 2x 50 minute lessons of Physical Education each week. Children are also given chance to take part in additional physical activity in school as part of our extra-curricular provision. Children are also given time during free time to partake in coach-led sports and games on the playground.
This year at YWCPS we have offered the following after-school sports clubs:
- basketball
- multi-skills
- tennis
- netball
- Gaelic football
- athletics
- gymnastics
In recent years, we have also taken part in a number of competitions through our School Games partnerships:
- table tennis
- indoor athletics
- indoor football
- multi skills
- handball
- basketball
We strongly believe in the following 6 key values:
Determination
Keep going no matter what. Determination is about the journey you go on to push yourself and achieve your dreams. Have the mental strength and self-discipline to overcome obstacles, commit to your goals and keep working every day to become the very best you can be. Don't hold back!
Team work
Treating everyone equally, supporting each other and working together to have fun and achieve. Celebrate each other's success and be a positive team player.
Self-belief
You've got to believe to achieve. Have the self-belief and confidence to succeed and reach your personal best.
Honesty
Be honest with others and with yourself. Have the courage to do the right thing and what you know is right. Let the best person win, not the best cheat!
Passion
Giving it 100 per cent. Put your heart and soul into the game and never give up. Passion makes you enter the race and passion makes you finish it.
Respect
Show respect for the referee, for the opposition, for your team mates, for yourself and for the game. Accepting victory and defeat with grace, treating others politely and with understanding. Have respect every day, in every sport and for everyone.
Hall Green Sports Partnership 2024/25
We work with Hall Green and other schools in the local area to ensure that children are given the chance to take part in competitive and non-competitive events against other schools. We have built strong links with other school in the local community as well as other sports venues that we are in connection with. All children have the opportunity to take part in a well-rounded extra-curricular programme.
Our main aims in support with Hall Green Sports Partnership are to:
- Build a brighter future for young people through physical education classes, sporting competition and extra-curricular opportunities.
- Create links between sport and the classroom which inspires a generation to be successful across multiple areas.
- Develop sporting and social attributes which create well-rounded individuals both in and out of the school environment.
