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.

Boys Football Match reports v Mereside and Marton.

School Clubs - Football

Written by Mr Truelove

Waterloo Boys’ Football team have completed their league fixtures and are awaiting the final league table to discover if they have reached the knock out stages.

On Wednesday, Waterloo travelled to Mereside. Waterloo started badly, going a goal down, but managed to turn things around and were two one up just before the break thanks to a stupendous header from David Roberts and a rasping left foot drive from George Davison.

However, Waterloo were caught napping and lost possession cheaply and let Mereside in for a goal to make the score 2 – 2 at the interval.

A slight telling off at half time saw Waterloo emerge in a more determined mood and they banged in 3 more goals without reply. Liam Walton snatched a goal and two from Ben Wilson, including a 25 yard thunderbolt gave Waterloo a 5-2 win and the points they needed.

Yesterday, Waterloo took on Marton where they lost 2- 1 in January. Only a win would give Waterloo any chance of qualifying.

The game was extremely tense with both sides creating chances, but the goalkeepers from both sides ensured that the scores stayed at 0 –0 at half time.

After half time, both teams went in search of a winner. Fortunately, it was Waterloo who struck first. A scramble in Marton’s box saw a deflected shot squeeze in at the far post. Waterloo had their lead and needed to protect it.

The game opened up more and more, but a brilliant finger tip save at full stretch from Lee Squires kept Waterloo’s lead in tact. The minutes ticked by and Waterloo hung on to secure two wins in two days.
