Actions For This Term

 

Term 5

  • Have you run an intra-school event?

    This could be organised by SHAPE, run by sports leaders or even at the end of a term to complete a unit of work in PE.

  • Have you identified a group of pupils who would benefit from using sport and physical activity to ease some transition worries?

    Which children may struggle with transition to the next stage (Y2-3, Y6-7)?  How do you know and how could you use PESSPA to support their needs and fears?

  • Have you communicated school sports events and competitions through your newsletter, email and social media?

    Storytelling and influencing around key messages is vital.  How do you celebrate the pupil's achievements and engagement to promote positive messaging around the benefits of PESSPA.
