Waterpark outdoor residential experience

Outdoor education gives children confidence and a chance to try new and exciting experiences. We have a programme for the outdoors which includes day visits, climbing mornings and longer residential visits.

Currently we take children for the weekend or week to Waterpark on Lake Coniston.

Your child is safe when cycling, insist on a helmet and don’t let young children near busy roads. As a rule we only let Y4, Y5 and Y6’s to cycle to school on their own.

School Sport and Fitness Week

Sport and keeping active are a key part of our school curriculum. Lunchtimes are led by our sports coaches and play leaders and we want every child to have the opportunity to experience and succeed in a number of sporting areas. Our ‘Fitness Week’ is the culmination of a great deal of work by our P.E. staff. We invite a range of professional coaches to school to deliver judo, aerobics, dance, tag rugby, speed stacking, cricket, climbing, golf and curling, to name but a few. Children go off site to some venues and we try to ensure every child has a wonderfully varied week. Our focus on sport and developing the skills of the children and good team work certainly does have a ‘knock on’ effect on performances in school sports competitions. We have won boys and girls schools football, cricket and experienced great success in the Blackpool School Games this summer. Not only do children really enjoy sport we hope it may encourage them to adopt a healthy lifestyle.

Cycling at school

Waterloo is becoming a real cycling centre. We encourage children to cycle safely and sensibly whilst making cycling courses at school fun and active. We introduce our nursery and reception children to bikes ‘without pedals’ (scoot bikes) to develop balance and gross motor skills. We also have Y5 children taking a bike mechanic course, biking breakfasts for parents and children riding to school and a range of bikeability courses for junior aged children. All these initiatives have resulted in a huge increase in the number of children coming to school on their bike.

School aims for success with kit

Written by Mr J Truelove

Pupils at Waterloo Primary School in Blackpool will look the part this year, thanks to a kit sponsorship deal with a local firm.
During the last school year Jamie Truelove, Year 4 co-ordinator and coach of the school's boys football and athletics teams at Waterloo Primary School, noticed that the existing school sports clothing was desperately in need of replacement.

NEW LOOK: Waterloo Primary School pupils wear their new kit with pride, also pictured are coach Jamie Truelove (left) and David Mawson, Connaught area director for the north west.
Mr Truelove approached a number of companies looking for sponsorship for the kit, and Connaught Partnerships Ltd agreed to provide the new kits for the football, cricket, rugby and netball teams, as well as athletics clothing, sweatshirts and raincoats.
Mr Truelove said: "We had some real sporting success last year, such as the football team reaching the Bloomfield Cup Final and finishing runners up in Blackpool School's League, and as with any success linked to the school this helped create a feel good' factor amongst pupils and staff.
"However, the poor condition of the existing kit didn't reflect the success we were enjoying and it was a real shame for the kids, but we just didn't have the funds to replace it."
The new clothing will now replace the old school sports kits and will be used by approximately 360 pupils aged from 7 to 11 in competitive fixtures.
"The new kit was very much needed and it really helps to raise the profile of sport in the school," said Mr Truelove. "The pupils look and feel good when they wear the new kit and as a result they want to get into the various teams and wear it with pride."
David Mawson, Connaught area director for the North West, said: "Sport is an important part of school life in terms of the obvious health benefits, as well as helping to raise aspirations, and we hope the new sports kit can go some way to helping the school achieve success."
