Newcastle School Games - Spring Term Update
Service
Level Agreements
We now have 52
school signed up to our Service Level Agreement to help develop PE & School
Sport and have agreed with the School Improvement Service to include our SLA as
part of their services to schools. The SLA for next academic year accurately
reflects the current services we provide to all Newcastle Schools and has been
sectioned into three core areas 1) PE 2) School Sport 3) Professional
Development.
Services
to Schools
Newcastle
School Games central funding has been extended up to 2016 to deliver 2 core
services to Newcastle schools; Level 2 of Sainsbury’s School Games and the
establishment of Change4life Sports Clubs.
The central funding currently supports the salaries of a Lead School
Games Organiser and a Deputy School Games Organiser to work 3 days per week to
deliver these 2 core programmes. The SLA’s developed with individual schools
provide additional income to employ both above positions 5 days per week plus
the addition of a term time only part time administrative officer.
After 1
year of delivering SLA services to schools Newcastle School Games now deliver an
additional number of services which now fit into 6 bespoke services.

Sainsbury’s
School Games
The Sainsbury’s School
Games programme has continued to provide many competitive opportunities for the
children of the city since the start of the new academic year.
608 Secondary aged
pupils have attended our Level 2 School Games (City Finals) events and
represented their schools in a variety of sports. The most popular, in terms of attendance, was
the Yr7 & Yr8 Sportshall Athletics event that was held at the Centre for
Sport and attracted 168 participants and provided a great atmosphere, especially
whilst the track events were on. The Key
Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 Trampoline Competition was popular again with 119
pupils attending Excelsior to showcase their skills. Our Badminton competitions have seen strong
levels of registration and the number of schools represented has been extremely
encouraging.
By comparison a
total of 693
Primary
School pupils have attended the Level 2 competitions staged so far this
year. Much like the largest Secondary
event, the strongest levels of registration were seen in the Yr5/6 Sportshall
Athletics competition when 206 children participated in indoor track and
field. 10 Schools attended the Netball
High 5 event and the Quicksticks Hockey attracted 17 schools which illustrates
a considerable increase in levels of participation in the latter
Professional Development & Teacher Training
We continue to work
hard to provide a varied offer of professional development courses for teachers
and make sure we negotiate a discount on all CPD for our SLA schools.
We have developed a
targeted approach to professional development to make sure teachers receive the
appropriate PE support and also a progressive pathway to support teachers
towards outstanding PE.

PE
& School Sport Network
We continue to host

discuss PE and share best practice, the last network meeting was based on
sharing ideas for assessment for learning and some piratical ideas for
developing team games using the Matalan resource.
