02 / Student leadership

PULSE

Your Voice. Your Sport. Your Wellbeing.

PULSE gives students the opportunity to shape PE, sport and wellbeing at Wilmslow High School. It is about ideas, initiative and helping others take part—not being the best athlete.

  • Unity
  • Leadership
  • Sport
  • Empower

Listen

Represent student views, champion inclusion and turn ideas into opportunities for more people to be active.

Lead

Help organise Power Leagues, competitions and events, developing coaching, officiating and leadership skills.

Inspire

Celebrate sporting success, promote wellbeing and create digital content that encourages others to get involved.

Student-led. Staff-supported. Mrs Nicholls, Teacher of PE, supports the team as students develop their ideas, confidence and practical leadership skills.

03 / Beyond the school day

School Club Links

More opportunities. Stronger connections.

We are developing partnerships with local sports clubs to help students find safe, welcoming and enjoyable opportunities beyond school.

Before recommending a club or establishing a formal partnership, we will review its safeguarding, coaching and management arrangements.

What will we check?
  • A current safeguarding and child protection policy.
  • A named Welfare Officer or Designated Safeguarding Lead.
  • Enhanced DBS checks for relevant staff and volunteers.
  • Appropriate coaching qualifications and National Governing Body affiliation.
  • Valid public liability insurance.
  • Appropriate risk assessments.
  • A formal partnership agreement with the school.
  • A visit from a member of the PE Department where appropriate.

Our network is developing. Recommended partner clubs will be published here as the programme develops.
