At Sandwich Infant School, we strive to build self-esteem through sport, physical education and physical activity in each of our pupils and give them the necessary skills. We place emphasis on developing children’s resilience, confidence, and leadership skills as well as making them become effective team members.
We know that sport has a massive impact on children’s mental health so we encourage the children to have a wide range of sporting opportunities both curricular and extra-curricular such as Scootability, Bounce Beyond, lunchtime skipping clubs, Football Fun Factory after school club as well our annual sports day event and health week.
We nurture and support our gifted and talented children and they are encouraged to inspire the other children. We celebrate regularly in our celebration assemblies by bringing in certificates, photos and videos of their achievements.
Pupil voice:
Child 1 – We do our best and never give up.
