Our Vision
Our vision is for every child to not only succeed but develop the skills, confidence and competence to positively impact their future. As our children grow in confidence, we hope they will go on to achieve and take their place in society inspiring themselves and others to face challenges with resilience and courage. Through Physical Education we can improve health, reduce stress and improve concentration in all areas of our curriculum. At OLSA, we encourage every child to actively participate in physical activity that is fun, rewarding and educational. We intend for physical education to challenge every child’s strengths and weaknesses, to enable them to learn from their experiences, and celebrate their successes, no matter how small!

Our PE Co-ordinator
Miss Ashworth is our PE co-ordinator. She enjoys a range of sports including netball, swimming and skiing. Miss Ashworth is keen to give the children as many sporting opportunities as possible and ensures the children are trained and ready to enter our local sports competitions. She organises our School Sports Crew, School Sports Teams, Change 4 Life club and Sports Day.
Our School Games Mark
We are very proud to announce that OLSA achieved GOLD for the School Games Mark Award for the Academic Year 2024-2025. The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward and recognise school’s engagement, provision and uptake, in the School Games against a national benchmark and to celebrate keeping young people active, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success.
