My PB

My PB is a programme designed by the Youth Sport Trust which inspires practitioners to teach life skills through physical education.  Through playing sports and games, young people can develop important qualities such as empathy, teamwork and resilience.  These skills enable them to be better equipped in their personal and social lives and also more able to take on new challenges in a changing world.  In addition, the skills they learn through the programme are transferable to future employment.  Sport Impact is able to work with schools to find ways to embed this exciting and relevant programme into their setting.

Breakfast Club

Sport Impact are able to provide a diverse, wide range of activities to suit your individual needs as a school. Our most successful clubs have come in the form of targeted groups such as Girls Active Clubs and PlayLeaders but are not limited to these programmes.

Girls Active

We have run a number of successful Girls Active Clubs in the borough which are targeted girls only groups and would be willing to help you set up one in your school. This can be tailored to your specific needs as a school and we could either support or lead the group depending on what you wanted to achieve.

Mile a Day/The Daily 15 minutes or Fit 2 Learn

This is a successful initiative which involves children running or walking for a mile or 15 minutes at the beginning of each school day.  Having this daily routine can not only improve children’s physical health but also their mental health and behaviour.  It is a quick, simple and cost effective way to ensure children are on track to achieve the government-recommended 60 minutes of physical activity a day.  Sport Impact can work with schools to find practical ways to get the Daily Mile embedded in the school setting.

Play and Engage

Play and Engage is a fun, physical activity club run by Sport Impact, targeted at nursery or reception children, where both the child and the parent/carer, explore play, movement and physical activity skills together. The sessions last for 45 minutes, once a week, for twelve weeks, and develops the fundamental movement skills of the child, (including agility, balance and coordination and physical literacy).  Along with developing the child’s confidence, listening skills and their ability to follow instructions, these sessions will also develop the pupil, parent and school relationship and will educate and encourage the parent/carer to interact with their child through structured play.

These sessions have been designed to work alongside and complement the EYFS Framework, with their physical literacy improvement being measured and recorded in fun and engaging baselining sessions, which take place at the beginning and end of the programme.  These outcomes are shared with the school.     

What role will the school have?

To inform and recruit parents/children and to reserve the indoor hall space. Sport Impact will assist schools by providing a template poster, information booklets for parents and can help in promoting the sessions at school drop off and collection.

30/30

Children should be physically active for at least 60 minutes a day.  Sport Impact can offer strategies and guidance to ensure that each child is achieving 30 minutes of physical activity a day in school.  We can also offer strategies to engage parents and carers so that they are also achieving 30 minutes of physical activity outside of school each day.

Change 4 Life

Change 4 Life Clubs target less active or less confident children and offer opportunities for them to become more secure in their fundamental movement skills.  Through inclusive and engaging activities, children learn that being physically active is fun and accessible to them.  Sport Impact can offer training for staff who will lead the Change 4 Life Club.  We can support you in getting the club started and help you to evaluate its impact.

Additional support for the teaching of life skills

It has become increasingly apparent over the last few years through research that PE can be successfully used as a vehicle for Whole Child Development. OFSTED have recently acknowledged the importance of this area with the addition of a new strand in their framework. Sport Impact colleagues would help you develop a curriculum for P.E that would enable you to do this through the teaching of important life skills developing the Physical, Mental and Social Me.
