Over the past 6 weeks half of our Year 9 girls have been involved on Friday mornings helping deliver Playleader training with Miss Hamer and Mr Lewis from All Saints. They have now successfully got all of the Primary schools trained as Playleaders.  This introductory training finished with Miss Hamers Year 9 BTEC class and the Brookfield Year 9 Netball team planning and organising a Primary Netball festival for five Primary schools.

The girls researched the rules, organised the fixtures and planned all the score sheets. They also trained with Miss Hamer as part of the umpiring team. The morning was a huge success and was ran totally by the pupils even down to umpiring the games.
At the end of the morning all the Primary school pupils were very excited to come to Brookfield in the future and enjoyed working with the Year 9 girls.
Well done girls – keep the fantastic leadership up!!!

Over the past few months every primary school in Kirkby have sent 10 pupils to the Brookfield Ball Hall to be trained as Primary Play Leaders. Every school did fantastically well and they learnt important leadership skills such as communication, organisation and fair play.
Kevin Lewis and Nicky Hamer (SSCO’s) trained a cohort of Year nines to help lead the sessions and it was fantastic to see the Year 5 and 6 pupils looking up to their Year 9 role models.

The Primary Play Leaders will now go back to their schools and encourage pupils at lunchtimes to be active and take part in games and help develop core skills.
It is brilliant to see all the participation of the Primary schools in this scheme
