South Gloucestershire SSCO's
|
Caroline Bungay, our new assistant Partnership Development
Manager, has slotted into her post with consummate ease and is
now creating a partnership directory, a co-ordinated calendar of
events and training across South Gloucestershire and
entertaining everyone she encounters with her IT brilliance!!
Caroline is also working with The Director of Sport at The
Grange, in order to co-ordinate and compliment her work of the
college and the SSCO Partnership.
We were always told that in the second year of the partnership
we would really start to see action! You better believe
it! Our NOF grant for Out of School Hours Learning
appeared and its been spend, spend, spend! Harris' Sports
have begun to supply our schools with tens of thousands of
pounds worth of equipment.

Brazilian Skills Soccer
|
|
Each of the 27 schools will receive 14 sessions of coaching in
this exciting slant on football skills with the use of samba
music. Each school receives 10 futebal de saloa balls and
the coaching is targeted at year 5 boys with behavioural
problems, with other being invited to participate as well.

Huff and Puff
|
|
Training took place for our 24 primary and 3 special schools
early October. SMA's and 1 teacher from each school
attended and a £500 bag of fantastic equipment was delivered to
each school. This will be used with KS1 pupils for
structured lunch and playtime activities. The major
problem being the storage of such a huge amount of
equipment. Great problem!

SAQ (Speed, Agility and Quickness)
|
Training is a system of progressive exercise and instruction,
which develops fundamental motor abilities, balance and
co-ordination. SAQ works with right / left sides of the
brain and develops fine motor skills. It is of benefit to
all athletes, right up to National Squads. Through this
new initiative pupils will develop movement skills which will
enable them to have greater access to and enjoyment of PE /
Sport. The Grange Family of schools will use SAQ with
pupils identified as having Special Educational Needs, those
with and without statements, as well as pupils who are
identified as being unlikely to reach expected National
Curriculum levels. Each school will undertake a term of
lunchtime and breakfast clubs per year, supported by LSA's, JSLA
/ CSLA students and parent helpers. A family celebration
event will be held annually.
Look out for the following new activities across the partnership
in the new year:
- Circus Skills
- Hockey for year 7, 8 and 9 boys
- A year 6, 7 and 8 Dance Club
- Boccia and New Age Curling

Hi Fives Netball
|
|
With all the help of Active Sport and Annette Cook, training has
taken place for staff with CSLA students in the King Edmund
family. Fixtures and a festival will follow this.
The other families will get training this year and other schools
not in the partnership will be invited to participate.

Tri Golf
|
|
Tri-Golf training was undertaken in the summer term by the
SSCO's through work with the Golf Foundation and they are
beginning to deliver this to their families. The 27
primary / special schools will receive a bag of equipment and
resource cards worth £150, schemes of work and links to local
golf clubs.

Football Festival
|
|
Kingsfield students successfully hosted a football festival in
which their primary feeder schools participated. 30
primary schools and 12 students from Kingsfield enjoyed the
festival in which participation was the key.

Schemes of Work training
|
|
Schemes of Work training with Chriton Caspon and Jan Pritchard
took place in September. This was a joint venture with the
PE association and the Youth Sports Development Advisor, using
the Best Practice Forum in order to work with Secondary Heads of
PE and SSCO's. There will be a primary day in March for
all PLT's and other Primary PE co-ordinators - watch this space!

PLT Training
|
This has continued with Module 3 training (Curriculum
Planning). However the Youth Sports Trust forgot to send a
trainer to our recent Module 4 training (Planning for
Learning)! Still, in true PE style we managed to make the
most of our time and enjoyed a pleasant lunch at YOSC!
This was the first real problem we have encountered and I would
like to thank all my team for the professional way in which they
used the time and worked with each other and me on the day!
We continue to work closely with The Grange Sports College and
await a successful outcome for King Edmunds' Business &
Enterprise and Sports College bid and have supported them fully
in their efforts.
We have a number of Sportsmark / Activemark bids to send to
Sport England this year and again have supported those schools
in this work.
In collaboration with the Youth Sports Development Advisor and
Sports Development we will begin the process of information and
discussion around the expansion of the SSCO programme in South
Gloucestershire. After many meetings with YST, Directorate
of LEA and Community Services, The Grange and King Edmunds
(Sports Colleges) we will begin to disseminate and receive
feedback on the proposed roll out of the two partnerships in
which all schools will be invited to take part in 2005.
The first meeting is with the Secondary Head Teachers, followed
by Primary Heads and Secondary Heads of PE in the coming term.

And Finally
|
We have to say goodbye to some valued members of the team.
Kath Britton, our Special SSCO has deserted us for a swimming
development post in Bristol - we wish her much success in her
new venture (but not that much!). Only joking Kath -
thanks for all your hard work!
We are very lucky to replace her with Jane Whittock, an
experienced secondary PE teacher, who has been working in the
SEN department at Brimsham Green School for the last few
years. Kath, Jane and Phil Medlow, our other Special SSCO
have all recently attended Sportsability training - Boccia, New
Age Curling and Table Hockey here we come!
