Increase sense of belonging Raise aspirations School Games Increase attendance Improve behaviour Increase confidence Increase sense of belonging Raise aspirations Develop life and employability skills Create wider support for learning Support cross curricular learning The first aspect of the ‘fully rounded education’ centres around the wider outcomes for young people that could be possible through a school’s involvement in the SG. We have identified a few here and more detail is provided in primary and secondary guides. Schools will use the SG to support whichever areas are priorities for them. One analogy is that of a maypole – schools will attach to the maypole whichever ‘tag’ is most appropriate to them. Or, put another way, what is the best way to ride a horse?...In the direction it is already going! It is for schools to use the SG to bolster/support/re-energise the strategies already underway. If you want to pick out a couple (starting with attendance as number 1 at the top and rotating clockwise) the SG used effectively could support a school’s work... By motivating pupils to attend and by valuing commitment By channelling pupils' energy and by valuing discipline and determination (6th Value) By valuing pupils' different abilities and enabling them to take on a variety of roles By developing team work skills and by valuing friendship and respect By valuing excellence and raising pupils' self-efficacy By developing pupils' personal, social, thinking, communication and self-management skills By engaging parents/ carers, community partners and employers in the SG By providing kinaesthetic, real life and motivational contexts for learning (There is more explanatory detail in the Guides)

Supporting the achievement of school priorities and outcomes • Provide opportunities for schools to work closely in collaboration and demonstrate effectiveness of partnerships of schools in promoting learning and well-being. • Support pupil engagement and behaviour strategies and transition. • Support the development of school ethos. • Provide inclusive opportunities for all young people. • Create opportunities for the school to raise its external profile and become embedded into the local community and further develop community cohesion. • Create further opportunities for schools to engage effectively with parents and carers. In January 2012 you could link this to Spirit of the Games values.

Schools can harness the enormous power of PE and sport as a motivational context for learning. Here is an ‘at a glance’ overview of the curricular competitions that will be in place to involve and challenge young people of a range of interests and skills in the SG. More details are provided on the school games web site : www.yourschoolgames.com Please promote this cross-curricular aspect to your schools and encouraging them to enter the various exciting competitions. As you can see, some of these young people will be rewarded by involvement in the Level 4 event at the Olympic Park in May 2012. What an opportunity!

Facilitator to talk through the concept of SSOC (see SSOC info for more detail if needed and difference between secondary and primary in resources provided to schools that are signed up) What is a School Sport Organising Committee? A School Sport Organising Committee is a group of young people who join together to organise, co-ordinate and promote school sports clubs and competitions in their school.     Why is it a good idea to have a School Sport Organising Committee? Young people understand other young people and are well placed to consult and then create and deliver activities which other young people wish to participate in. Therefore a School Sport Organising Committee is a great way of ensuring that the activities and opportunities offered are based on student voice and need. Creates a culture in schools where young people are empowered to lead change. How can Schools support young people to develop a School Sport Organising Committee in their School? Identify some individual young people who you think would be interested in establishing a School Sport Organising Committee – this could be Young Ambassador, School Captains or other volunteers. If there is already an existing School Sports Council or Student Council in place then approach these for their ideas. What roles should the committee be made up of?
