Play Leaders

The Play Leaders are a group of our oldest children (Years 5 & 6) who are interviewed, trained and deployed to help make playtimes and lunchtimes more enjoyable for the Infant boys & girls.

A huge well done to our successful Play Leader interviews.

Here are our Play Leaders in action:

What the children say about
​Play Leaders...

"I like the Play Leaders because they make lunchtime fun."
​

"I like the games the Play Leaders do.  The Play Leaders are my friends."

​Each one of our children applied for the job by completing an application form. They then attended an interview (a new experience for most!)  The commitment of last year’s Play Leaders in year 5 has continued as they have moved into year 6. Thank you to them for their enthusiasm in this job role.  Our Play Leaders are Year 5 and Year 6 children who each volunteer one lunchtime a week to play with Reception and Key Stage one children in the playground.  Our Play Leaders make a fantastic contribution to the experience Reception and KS1 children have at lunchtimes.  The younger children not only enjoy the time with the older children they learn new skills like sharing and taking turns.
