Welcome to sports at Cottesmore Academy 2024-2025! 

Please have a look through all of the EPIC events, clubs and competitions that we have planned for this year.

Sports Clubs and Enrichment this Year

• Enrichments will continue every Friday this year! We have a range of activities for children to choose from including: cooking, art, sewing, sports, team building games and nature spotting!

• Throughout the year, we will be running after school sports clubs for Years 1-6. Please keep an eye out on Parent Mail each term so you know how to sign up as these clubs change on a termly basis.

• We are very pleased to welcome MACCA Sports. They will be providing us with a sports coach who will be working with us every Friday afternoon starting in Term 2. They will be working alongside our Sports Ambassadors to deliver a lunchtime club; run an enrichment and then provide a sports club after school which develop the skills needed for upcoming Rutland Learning Trust events.

Say Hello To Our Sports Ambassadors!

At Cottesmore Academy, we want our Sports Ambassadors to be role models who can promote the importance of living an active and healthy lifestyle. This year, our ambassadors will be working closely alongside Mr Wigginton to further raise the profile of sport across the school as well as encourage as many pupils as possible to take part in physical activity, as possible, on a weekly basis. Our Sports Ambassadors will also be collaborating with MACCA Sports, an external coaching company, who will be coming in to run a lunchtime club every Friday in Terms 2-6.
