At Fair Oak Junior School sports squads are usually selected though performances in PE lessons as well as team trials. Squads are selected based on ability and can consist of anywhere from fifteen to forty pupils depending on the upcoming fixture requirements for the particular sport. Teams for events are then selected from the squad. Again, this is usually done based on ability which means that squad members will not necessarily play the same number of games in a season. Most fixtures involve students from years four, five and six although there are a few events each year also open to our year three pupils. Extra tournaments are organised by our PE coordinator, Mr Stredwick, where multiple teams will be entered. However, for the majority of events, Fair Oak will only be allowed to enter one team. It is a fantastic achievement for any child to be selected for a squad and squad members should rightly feel very proud of themselves!
