--- title: "Playground PALS" url: "https://ecclestonprimary.net/curriculum/pupil-leadership/pals" school: "Eccleston Primary School" --- # PALS Children in Year 4 and 5 are invited to apply to be a Playtime Activity Leader (PAL). They are then selected to be trained by the Chorley School Sport Partnership to be a PAL. They are PALS for the rest of the year and beyond. They are responsible for organising, resourcing and leading sporting activities. PALS encourage Year 1 and 2 children each lunchtime to be physically active and to develop communication skills through a range of team games and skills-based activities. We have an amazing group of Playground PALS at Eccleston Primary School. Playground PALS are an important part of our school life as they foster a positive and inclusive playtime environment, encouraging friendship, collaboration, and social skills, while also supporting staff and ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all children. The main aim of our Playground PALS is to encourage a healthier and more active playtime; one that is harmonious and encourages positive play for all. Our children volunteer to be a Playground PAL and make the commitment to help encourage happy and sociable play-times. They will be a point of contact for children during breaks and can help encourage friendship and games, make sure no-one feels alone and are able to sort out any minor concerns. Our Playground PALS are friendly and approachable, and they are a huge support to the children and staff on duty. ### Playground PALS [![](https://files.schudio.com/eccleston-primary-school/images/gallery/playground-pals/PALS.png)](https://files.schudio.com/eccleston-primary-school/images/gallery/playground-pals/PALS.png) ### Curriculum - [Curriculum Statement](https://ecclestonprimary.net/curriculum/curriculum-statement) - [Our Curriculum](https://ecclestonprimary.net/curriculum/our-curriculum) - [Curriculum Subjects](https://ecclestonprimary.net/curriculum/curriculum-subjects) - [End Of Year Expectations](https://ecclestonprimary.net/curriculum/end-of-year-expectations) - [Homework](https://ecclestonprimary.net/curriculum/homework) - [Pupil Leadership](https://ecclestonprimary.net/curriculum/pupil-leadership) - [Eco Team](https://ecclestonprimary.net/curriculum/pupil-leadership/eco-team) - [Maths Ambassadors](https://ecclestonprimary.net/curriculum/pupil-leadership/maths-ambassadors) - [Playground PALS](https://ecclestonprimary.net/curriculum/pupil-leadership/pals) - [Reading Ambassadors](https://ecclestonprimary.net/curriculum/pupil-leadership/reading-ambassadors) - [School Ambassadors](https://ecclestonprimary.net/curriculum/pupil-leadership/school-ambassadors) - [School Council](https://ecclestonprimary.net/curriculum/pupil-leadership/school-council) - [Sport Ambassadors](https://ecclestonprimary.net/curriculum/pupil-leadership/sport-ambassadors) - [Wellbeing Champions](https://ecclestonprimary.net/curriculum/pupil-leadership/wellbeing-ambassadors) - [Year Group Curriculum Overviews](https://ecclestonprimary.net/curriculum/year-group-curriculum-overviews) ![Eccleston Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/eccleston-primary-school/images/logo/White-NEW-logo-MASTER-square.png) #### Eccleston Primary School Doctors Lane Eccleston Chorley Lancashire PR7 5RA 01257 451114 #### Useful Links: - [CEOP](https://ecclestonprimary.net/ceop) - [Governors](https://ecclestonprimary.net/key-information/governors) - [Policies](https://ecclestonprimary.net/key-information/policies-and-documents) - [Our Team](https://ecclestonprimary.net/about-us/our-team) #### More Links: - [School Prospectus](https://ecclestonprimary.net/about-us/school-prospectus) - [Ofsted](https://ecclestonprimary.net/key-information/ofsted-report) - [School Uniform](https://ecclestonprimary.net/parents/school-uniform) #### Social Media - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/eyfseps/) © Copyright 2024–2026 Eccleston Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://ecclestonprimary.net/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
