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.

Success at Lancashire Football tournament

School Clubs - Football

Written by Mr J Truelove

On Saturday 1st December 2007, Waterloo Boys Football Team represented Blackpool at the LFA Lancashire 7 a side tournament at St Bede’s School, Blackburn. There were 2 groups of 3 teams. In group A were Blackpool, Preston and Blackburn. Group B consisted of Morcambe, Skelmersdale and Darwin.

Blackpool watched the first game between Preston and Blackburn end in a 0 – 0 stalemate and knew that any victory against Preston would send them through. A tight match against Preston saw them emerge with a 1-0 victory thanks to a Liam Walton winning strike in the second half.

In the final group game, Blackpool faced Blackburn with Blackpool having already qualified. Again, the teams were evenly matched and the game was heading for a 1 all draw, with Karl Jones on target for Blackpool, when an error in the dying seconds handed Blackburn a 2-1 victory. This meant Blackpool had to settle for runners up spot and faced the winners from group B, Darwin.

In that semi final, Blackpool played extremely fluently and showed good organisation and skill. They found themselves 2- 0 up after the first half with Liam Walton and Karl Jones grabbing a goal apiece. Blackpool continued their dominance in the second half and added 3 more goals. Liam Walton completed his hat trick and George Davison scored the fifth to seal an emphatic win and a re match with Blackburn in the final.

The final was a tight affair, but Blackpool buckled first. A seemingly harmless long range cross some how dropped in at the far post late in the first half to give Blackburn the edge. Blackpool regrouped at half time and went in search of the equaliser. It duly came with minutes to spare, as Lewis Wilson hit home for Blackpool sending the game into extra time. The first half of extra time came and went and the second half seemed to be heading the way of the first with penalties looming, which Blackburn had needed in their semi final. However, with about a minute to go, Blackpool attacked and a rasping drive from Lewis Wilson crashed in off a post to seal a well-earned victory and the tournament win.

Waterloo will now represent Blackpool and Lancashire at the North of England tournament in early 2008, also to be held at Blackburn.

Waterloo Squad: Lee Squires (capt), Ben Wilson, Josh Errington, George Davison, Lewis Wilson, Karl Jones, Liam Walton, Josh Edwards and David Roberts.
