As an Infant School, we have a highly unusual active offer for our children and wider community. We have worked in close partnership with North Yorkshire Sport, with use of the 'Opening School Facilities' funding, to provide a range of exciting active opportunities to our community. We recognise that we have the opportunity to create passion and positivity around physical activity and health in our children, and as staff we work hard to model healthy habits. Below is a summary of our active 'above and beyond' offer in school:
- Monthly Bike Bus, free to use Bike Library, Secret Garden (please take a look at children: exciting extras tab on our website here Exciting extras | Oatlands Infant School)
- Opportunities to work with Leeds Utd at playtimes, lunchtimes and in wellbeing interventions on a Monday afternoon
- A whole half term of cycling / balance bike lessons for all Reception classes and annual cycling lessons across school
- Heavily discounted cycling lessons over holidays with Ready Steady Pedal
- A wide range of active clubs, including holiday clubs, all fully funded and at no cost to families
- An on-site gym for staff across Yorkshire Causeway Schools Trust (YCST), with plans to offer heavily discounted personal training sessions to parents and carers
