At Broadfield we enrol Y6 pupils to become Sports Leaders, we meet every 2 weeks to discuss activites at lunchtimes and to allow the Sports Leaders to give their opinion on sports activities across school. 

Pupil sports leaders benefit from developing key skills such as communication, teamwork, and resilience, leading to increased confidence and a greater sense of purpose. The school also benefits from their ability to organise activities, boost physical activity levels, improve playground behaviour, and foster a more inclusive and positive school environment. This role provides essential preparation for future education and the workplace by developing transferable, employability skills.
