Sports Participation in School : A Better Future Ahead

Playing sport helps to keep people healthy and is good for communities. Playing sport at school or in a local club is also the first step to competition at the highest level, which helps improve our reputation as a sporting nation, and contributes to economic growth.

But when people leave school they often stop playing sports, which means people can’t fulfill their sporting potential, and can lead to a less healthy lifestyle. We want to get more people playing sport safely from a young age, and help them keep playing sport throughout their life, no matter what their economic or social background. The School Games gives primary and secondary students the chance to compete at school and regional levels with the most talented competing at a national level. The competition is open to all and encourages young people to participate in competitive sport across all levels of ability and experience. Disabled sports are included at every level of the competition.

To achieve self-sustaining improvement in the quality of PE and sport in primary schools.
We would expect indicators of such improvement to include:

• The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – kick-starting healthy active lifestyles
• The profile of PE and sport being raised across the school as a tool for whole school improvement
• Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport
• Broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils
• Increased participation in competitive sport

 Sports is stressed on as a powerful extra curricular to imbibe in students the feeling of sportsmanship, a competitive spirit and respect for fair play. As such the school organizes various Inter-House and Inter-School Tournaments in Football, Cricket, Volleyball, Table Tennis and Basketball. The School can boast of football fields and a basketball court that meets all standards. We also have a huge Auditorium for indoor and outdoor activities and sports

We shall endeavor to do our best for your children and we will except whole-hearted co-operation from you.
