The School Games offer opportunities to encourage school aged young people to take part in competitive sport. The games are made up of 4 different levels of competition: Intra-school (Level 1), Inter-school (Level 2), County Finals (Level 3) and National Competitions (Level 4). For more information on the School Games, please visit: www.yourschoolgames.com What are the School Games Values? There are 6 school games values which are promoted nationally to all young people to encourage them to think about the overall benefits of sport rather than only focussing on the results. During competitions we regularly present certificates to young people who have shown at least 1 of these values whilst participating. These individuals are usually selected by the sports leaders. What is the School Games Mark? The School Games Mark is a Government led awards scheme which was launched in 2012 to reward schools for their commitment to the development of PE and sport across their school and into the community. Schools in England are able to assess themselves across bronze, silver and gold levels. The next page shows how well the schools in the partnership are doing on this measure. School Games Blog The School Games website allows all registered schools to blog about their participation in the School Games in four categories, they are: Why Competition, Inclusion, Leadership and General Blogs. Blogs can be written by staff or pupils and schools can add blogs in any of the categories they choose. There is a multitude of prizes and awards available for schools who publish a blog, with awards being given for: Blog of the Week & School of the Month. Every blog published also puts the school in a draw to win vouchers for Youth Sport Direct who sell a vast array of sports equipment. For your chance to win, why not start blogging today at: www.yourschoolgames.com.

Over 1200 pupils took part in the tag rugby, orienteering and goalball competitions over the 3 days. 95 sports leaders from the 3 host schools took on the roles of team managers, referees and coaches during the 6 competitions, which gave them the opportunity to be role models to the younger pupils as well helping them develop their sporting skills. The orienteering competitions were split into 2 parts. The first tested the pupils map reading skills with them taking part in a star orienteering challenge and having to find 9 clues which were spread out around the school field. The winners were the first team to collect all the clues and use them to solve the final challenge. The second part of the competition gave pupils the opportunity to work together in their teams to complete a number of problem solving activities. The activities included: Deactivate the Bomb, Crossing the Swamp, Towers of Hanoi and Hook a Duck.

    team BEDS&LUTON Volunteer Strategy July 2007 team BEDS&LUTON (Bedfordshire & Luton County Sports Partnership) Volunteer Strategy April 2007 – March 2009 “Working in partnership at the heart of the community to support, develop and promote high quality opportunities to allow everyone to get involved, stay involved and succeed in sport and physical activity.” - 1 - team BEDS&LUTON Volunteer Strategy July 2007 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 What is team BEDS&LUTON? team BEDS&LUTON is the County Sports Partnership (CSP) for Bedfordshire and Luton and the local driving force to encourage people of all ages to become involved in sport and physical activity. The CSP aims to provide opportunities for clubs, coaches and volunteers to develop, and is central in helping to achieve the government target of a 1% rise in participation each year until 2010. The key to the success of the CSP is joined up thinking and team BEDS&LUTON should encompass many local partners to ensure achievement in delivering its objectives. There must be strong links with schools, colleges and universities, the health sector, community safety and regeneration departments, as well as local authorities, National Governing Bodies of sport, community clubs and voluntary agencies. 1.2 The Importance of Volunteers in Sport Research has shown that volunteers contribute 1.2 billion hours of time each year to sport, and have the equivalent value of almost 1 million full time workers, at a cost of approximately £14 billion1. team BEDS&LUTON recognises that without a quality volunteer workforce, sport would not be able to thrive. The volunteer sector makes up over 80% of the workforce according to MORI findings.

  • Dear Parents, ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS
    Dear Parents, ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS AND OPPORTUNITIES My apologies for not issuing this at the end of last term, but – as you will see – so much went on last term that drawing this summary together has taken longer than I anticipated! There follows a hugely impressive list of the boys’ academic achievements and other opportunities in the Spring Term. It’s certainly a very long summary, but that in itself is testimony to the vast array of talent that our boys have shown themselves recently, and the numerous chances they have had to benefit from the talents of others too. Do please continue to encourage your son, as we are doing, to take full advantage of similar opportunities in the future, if he is not already doing so! We are all looking forward to an equally impressive Summer Term! All best wishes Alastair Tighe Deputy Head (Academic) • Congratulations to the following boys for being awarded Commendations this term for work or conduct which exemplifies the school’s core values in an exceptional way. o Fourth Form – Ben Barden for an excellent presentation on a trip to Kerala; Ben Barnes for an outstanding essay on Christian morality and also for his excellently researched and well-argued essay on Euthanasia; Divine Edjejovowo for an outstanding prep on the adaptations of the reindeer to living in cold environments, and also for an exceptionally full and detailed essay on virtue ethics entitled, ‘What makes a good friend?’; Joshua Holdsworth and Danny Hubber for challenging themselves with an excellent piece of work on ANWR; Rohan Jacob
