and Chloe Fletcher were successful in gaining the internships after interview
with 55 applications. The internships are voluntary and fixed for the 2013-14

Healthy
Active Lifestyles (HAL)
We have developed
this area of work significantly with the inclusion of a number of events and
opportunities which are the opposite of Sainsbury’s School Games in terms of
outcomes. Each HAL event is based on
developing values and engaging sports activity in a fun, friendly environment
and signposting to linked community programmes being
delivered by Active Newcastle using the Fusion young person’s membership card.

CPD &
Teacher Training
We have now
coordinated three successful training opportunities for Newcastle teachers
which were:-

teachers attended

Funs for
Everyone @
Ravenswood Primary on 5th November – 17 teachers attended
·
The 5

November – 22 teachers attended
We have agreed to coordinate
further opportunities in the New Year to include updates on the new PE
curriculum and assessment.

Health
and wellbeing lead school
We wrote a bid to
the Youth Sport Trust to become the lead for Health and Wellbeing across Newcastle
and have now been accepted as the host school here at Benfield School. The
School Games team will lead on this programme and the main outcomes of this
work for 2013/14 are:-
·
Increasing
the participation of young people deemed less active in physical activity;
·
Improving
children and young people attitudes towards healthy and active lifestyles;
·
Increase
children and young people’s health literacy through PE, school sport and
healthy active lifestyles;
·
Improve
the capacity and expertise of ALL school staff in relation to the delivery of healthy active lifestyles
6.
PE &
School Sport Network
We have
successfully created a network group which meets every half term at a local
school to share resources, ideas and skills to develop PE & School Sport as
well as an opportunity for CPD and to work with some pupils for year 3/4. The
first meeting was attended by 22 teachers from 19 different schools
7.
Play Makers Sports Leadership
We have delivered
the Sport leaders UK Play Makers award successfully to 5 schools and have
booked in a further 10 to develop the skills of pupils in year 5 to lead in PE
and playgrounds in their schools. We intend to invite the Outstanding Play
Makers to a Primary Leadership academy in the summer term. This area of work is
being managed by Daniel Grey as part of his internship.
