London Youth Games are a unique season of events at the heart of youth sport in London. It has been London's favourite youth sports competition since 1977, when it was launched to mark the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. Since then, borough teams have competed on an annual basis for the Jubilee Trophy as the event has grown into Europe's largest annual youth sports event. In 2019, we are looking forward to hosting 99 school and community competitions, delivered by 4,000 volunteers across 33 sports. The Games will involve young people aged 7-19 from 33 London borough teams and around 1,000 schools. 3 ? GamesForce is our volunteer programme (age 16+) which allows you to get involved and be part of the action at London Youth Games. It provides you with the opportunity to learn new skills, enhance your experience and be part of a fantastic team. Without our volunteers, London Youth Games couldn’t run. Last year over 4000 volunteers contributed to the Games! Sport Type of roles: Registration and Results; Officials (in many of the 30 sports); Assisting with the competition. Events Type of roles: Medal ceremonies; Results collection; Event support; Event & Information Hub; Hospitality. Media Type of roles: Photographers; Videographers; Reporters; Social media; Journalists. These roles are open to everyone, and you can try out different ones at various events so you get the chance to find the perfect role for you! 4 Team leaders (18+) manage groups of young volunteers at event days. Becoming a team leader is a great opportunity for you to further your career prospects, develop leadership skills, work as part of team and gain experience across the areas of sport, media and events. Training, mentoring and onsite support is provided to successful applicants. Volunteers aged 16-18 who take on more responsibility and work alongside a Team Leader or LYG member of staff. Applications to become a team leader will open on Monday 19th November and will close on Sunday 6th January.

Everyone who applies will then be contacted on the week beginning 14th January whether successful or not. 5 Here is what to expect if you choose to volunteer at a London Youth Games event. We hope you are looking forward to being part of the fantastic GamesForce team. The next couple of pages should give you an idea of what to expect at the event and answer any queries you may have. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch though if you have any other questions or concerns – just email Lucy on [email protected] You will receive your role confirmation and Volunteer Pack via email containing all the necessary information you will need on the event.

On the day of the event, it is essential that you are punctual so make sure you give yourself plenty of time to get to the venue. Don’t forget to have your mobile phone fully charged and in credit in case you need to contact anyone if you are running late or are lost. 6 On arrival you will: • Meet your team leader at the arranged location.

Unfortunately, without any travel receipt we cannot refund your expenses. 8 The next bit is when the fun repeats all over again - you can look out for more volunteer opportunities so you can get involved with GamesForce again! Hopefully, you will now have a good idea of what to expect when volunteering at a LYG event. If you have any unanswered questions, you can email Lucy - [email protected] who will be more than happy to help with any questions. 9 We really value you giving up your time to volunteer with us, therefore we provide some little rewards along your volunteer journey with us - GamesForce Goodies! Each time you volunteer with us you will collect a sticker for each event and at some special milestones along the way you will receive an extra little gift. 10 We had a quick catch up with some of our GamesForce volunteers to tell you about their experience volunteering with London Youth Games. - Team Leader Sport/Event Volunteer Media Volunteer When did you first get involved with the London Youth Games (LYG)? L-A: March 2017 – a newbie to the scene! C: The first events that I volunteered for were the Key Steps Gymnastics, the netball, swimming and diving during the LYG Finals Weekend in 2017. M: I got involved with the London Youth Games earlier in May 2017. What made you get involved? L-A: Having heard about LYG and not being able to participate in the games myself when at school I was keen to get involved in another way. Speaking to LYG staff members too through my placement year at university really helped to get me excited and engaged with the events run by LYG, including Spring finals. C: Having been competing in the LYG for several years I wasn't really aware of the amount of time that goes into running such a fantastic event. But by volunteering it's clear to see that the events are enjoyed by everyone from spectators, to participants, to support staff, to volunteers. M: I am a huge fan of sports, and I am really curious about sport at the grassroots level as far as performance and development is concerned. I wanted to contribute towards a community driven youth sports competition/ games that I knew acted as a good foundation for a lot of the young athletes. 11 What skills have you learned whilst being a volunteer with LYG? L-A: Communication, leadership, teamwork, time and self-management and confidence! M: I have learned the importance of communication, organisation as well as emotional intelligence. Please tell us about your overall experience. What do you think you have gained from it? L-A: Fantastic! Volunteering with LYG has definitely set me up with a range of skills that I know I will continue to use in the future. The role has also made me feel very welcome into the LYG family, and I know that they would have me back anytime again! Also, working with the competitors at the events was inspirational and life changing - The games are an amazing opportunity for young people and a lot of what happens in the sporting world all starts at these games, so being part of the event delivery team as a volunteer was just great C: Lucy and the rest of the Gamesforce team stayed in regular contact with me and were really friendly and supportive on the run up to Finals Weekend. I was forwarded all of the information that I needed which gave me an idea on what to expect during my time volunteering and also helped me to prepare for the tasks I would likely be asked to do. My first team leader was Daniel. On arrival he greeted me, made sure that I was aware of my roles and responsibilities for the day and also that I was looked after.

The Sports Development Team subsequently undertook a full analysis of each sporting activity in the games. The analysis attempted to identify strengths and weaknesses, available resources and facilities and what action would need to be taken to significantly improve performance. 1.4. At its meeting on 30 October 2000, the Youth and Continuing Education Committee agreed targets for the London Heathrow Youth Games 2001.

  • Let Us Hear Your Compliments, Suggestions Or Complaints
    Let us hear your compliments, suggestions or complaints: www.orleanspark.richmond.sch.uk/contact-us Weekly Entries to Website: Sixth Form Open Evening Year 7 Exam Week Timetable Tuesday 25 June 2013 London Youth Games - May 2013 Trials flyer 6pm – 9pm From the Headteacher GCSE Drama Showcase Last week the Year 11 GCSE Drama pupils performed their group examination pieces to an audience of friends and family as a final preparation for the actual GCSE examination the following day. This year the examination brief was to create a performance that would make the audience ‘think’, and the result was some very hard-hitting pieces. The pupils worked incredibly hard to perfect their plays, coming in at weekends and spending time after school rehearsing. It certainly paid off as the quality of the performances was simply outstanding and it was a hugely enjoyable evening. My thanks go to Ms Smith and Ms Davies, assisted by Mr Flowerdew, who gave up considerable amounts of time to direct and rehearse the pupils. Year 11 Leavers As the main written examinations approach we shall be formally saying goodbye to our Year 11 pupils this Friday. There will be a final assembly in the morning and then the pupils will start their formal study leave. As in previous years an extensive revision programme has been planned for the run-up to the examinations and during the examination period. A number of key pupils have been asked to attend school as normal, whilst others may choose a more flexible approach. Year 10 Pupils Our Year 10 pupils had their end of year examinations last week and we were very impressed by their attitude and application.

  • PE Statement 2020 - 2021
    Primrose Hill Primary School PE Statement 2020 - 2021 Date: May 2020 Review: July 2021 1 Primrose Hill Primary School PE Premium Funding Statement 2019 - 20 The government is providing additional funding to improve the provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools – this is allocated based on the number of children in Year 1 – 6. Last year the government once again allocated extra funds for the PE premium; this meant we have received two amounts - £8,129 & £11,404 totalling £19,533. The PE Premium funding is used to continually improve PE and Sport Provision across the school. Since the introduction of the PE premium in 2014 this has meant a huge success in raising attainment in PE and we will continue to build on our provision again this year. At Primrose Hill we already prioritise PE and sport in our budget to enhance children’s participation, involvement and attainment in PE; however, this additional sum contributes a significant amount for our school which so far has enabled us to develop the PE offer in our school. The PE premium contributes to the overall PE budget and in the financial year 2021 - 2021 will be spent in line with government recommendations for how to best utilise the funding: Provide existing staff with training or resources to help them teach PE and sport more effectively: ● A full time dedicated PE Teacher and PE teaching assistant, at HLTA level, to support the expansion of the PE provision ● We continue to invest in new equipment and resources in order to introduce new sports to our children
