He was Double World Champion in the 110m hurdles, four times European Champion, twice Commonwealth Champion, Olympic Silver medallist, and World Record Holder for almost 13 years. So when he spoke to GCSE PE students at Somercotes Academy, they listened to him. Visiting the Academy’s £100,000, state-of-the-art Fitness Suite, he told them: “Facilities like this rarely exist even in London for students. Many areas are very poor and real estate is expensive. They do not have this kind of space. You are very, very lucky to have such incredible facilities and you must make the most of them.” Colin was visiting the Academy prior to handing out awards at its first ever Presentation Evening, which was held later at the Riverhead Theatre, Louth. Not only did he spend more than an hour chatting with students, and answering their questions, but he also got down on the gym floor to demonstrate the correct use of a Swiss ball for promoting core fitness, a testament Colin Jackson demonstrates the correct use of a Swiss ball with Somercotes Academy students. to his own continued athletic prowess at the age of 49. Colin was also shown the Academy’s three new Science Labs and the brand new PE changing rooms recently refurbished in the main school. “Facilities like this encourage everyone to have a go at sport and exercise and you In response to a variety of searching questions from don’t have to be at the top of your game to take advantage of that,” he said. “Doing eager GCSE PE students, Colin said he spent 19 years of his life on a strict diet, admitting that the the very best that you can do is all you can ever ask of yourself. What kept me first time he ever had a proper Christmas dinner as determined throughout my career was knowing that I did my best, no matter what an adult was at the age of 37. “Of course I wanted the challenges.” chocolate cake but I wanted my career more,” he told them. Colin cited Double Olympic and World Champion Decathlete, Daley Thompson, as his inspiration. He said Daley was the Jessica Ennis of his generation and more. “He was incredible and I aspired to be like him, not just because he was a superb athlete, but also because he drove a Porsche and when I met him at the age of 19, I wanted one.” Asked who was his biggest competition, Colin said simply, myself. “I was always up against myself to remain motivated and inspired, training for five and half hours in the rain even if I didn’t really want to. That’s what I mean about doing your best. Provided you know you have achieved to the best of your ability, in whatever you choose to do, nobody can ask more of you and you cannot ask more of yourself.” Colin Jackson in the new Fitness Suite at Somercotes Colin Jackson sneaks a look at the yearbook while visiting one Academy with GCSE PE students and members of staff. of the new Science Labs on his tour of Somercotes Academy. 1206 Somercotes Standard • September Somercotes Standard • September 1307 Having just returned from commentating for the BBC at the Rio Student Phoebe Perrow (14) said: Olympics when he visited, Colin has carved a successful career for himself post athletics competition.

  • Kinematical Model of Hurdle Clearance Technique
    Isas 2004 / Ottawa, Canada 311 KINEMATICAL MODEL OF HURDLE CLEARANCE TECHNIQUE Milan Coh, Milan Zvan, and Bojan Jost Faculty of Sport, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia The objective of our study was to determine the major kinematic parameters that generate a model of hurdle clearance technique on the 4th hurdle in the 110 metres hurdles. A biomechanic analysis was performed on one of the best hurdlers, a world record holder, Colin Jackson. The analysis of the hurdle clearance technique was made by means of 3D kinematic system ARIEL. The subject of the study was kinematic analysis of the take-off, flight and landing. The results showed that the rational technique of hurdle clearance is defined by the following parameters: horizontal speed of CM (centre of mass) in the moment of take-off, the level of CM in take-off, speed of the swing leg during take-off, take-off angle, time of the flight over a hurdle, level of CM above a hurdle, horizontal speed of CM in the landing phase, level of CM in the landing phase, and contact time in the landing phase. KEY WORDS: hurdles, technique, model, kinematics. INTRODUCTION: The high hurdles are among the technically most demanding of track and field events. According to some researches carried out so far (Schluter, 1981; Mero, Luhtanen, 1986; La Fortune, 1988; McDonald; Dapena, 1991; McLean, 1994 ), the hurdle clearance technique is one of the key elements defining the competition result. From the aspect of biomechanics, hurdles is a combination of cyclic sprinting and acyclic clearance of ten 1.067m hurdles.

  • The Nottingham Academy
    Chief Executive: Wayne Norrie Chair of Trustees: Mike Hamlin EA to the Chief Executive: Nikki Cameron-Williams Greenwood House Private Road No 2 Colwick Quays Business Park Nottingham NG4 2JY Telephone: 0115 7483310 Option 1 Email: [email protected] 16 December 2019 Dear Stakeholder Consultation on a proposed change to term dates commencing September 2020 onwards Six Academies within the Greenwood Academies Trust (GAT) and two David Ross Academies (DRET) on the East Coast are proposing a change to term dates commencing from September 2020. I am writing to inform you that we will be commencing consultation on 6 January 2020 until 31 January 2020. During the consultation you will have the opportunity to be involved in the process and to put forward any comments you wish to make on the proposal. The Proposal As a group of Academies based in a coastal area, we are fully aware of periods in term time when attendance shows a drop due to seasonal working. Working families find it difficult to take time off work as they suffer loss of earnings and by waiting until the season is over, parents can then take advantage of cheaper holidays outside of term time. As a result, we see a rise in unauthorised absence. Having considered the needs of our local community and explored strategies for improving attendance, the Skegness Infant Academy, Skegness Junior Academy, Beacon Primary Academy, Ingoldmells Academy, Seathorne Primary Academy and the Skegness Academy (all GAT Academies) are collectively considering moving to a model of taking two weeks’ holiday in the October half term, commencing in the academic year September 2020.

  • Alternative Provision Arrangements.Pdf
    Agenda Item 11 Regulatory and Other Committee Open report on behalf of Debbie Barnes, Executive Director of Children's Services Report to: Schools Forum Date: 4th October 2017 Subject: Alternative Provision Arrangements Summary: The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of Lincolnshire's current and future Alternative Provision arrangements. Recommendation(s): The Schools Forum is asked to note the content of the report. Background 1. Context and Background Information Alternative provision is commonly defined as education outside school, arranged by local authorities or schools themselves. It can be something in which a young person participates as part of their regular timetable, away from the school site or the pupil referral unit (in Lincolnshire, Springwell Lincoln Academy) and not led by school staff. Schools are encouraged to use such provision to try to prevent exclusions, or to re-engage pupils in their education. Many secondary schools in Lincolnshire use AP in this way, dual registering pupils for behavioural intervention or to follow vocational pathways. Centres include Acorn Free School (Lincoln), Bridge House (Boston), First Steps (Boston), Build a Future (West Ashby), Good Apple (Gainsborough), Hill Holt (Norton Disney), and in N. Lincs, Fluent Coaching (Brigg). The current Ofsted Handbook requires inspectors to "find out how (AP) is monitored and evaluated, both day to day and over time. An inspector should visit the unit briefly to assess safeguarding procedures, the quality of teaching and how effectively the unit helps to improve pupils' behaviour, learning and attendance. The visit should be proportionate to the number of pupils who attend and the length of time they spend there…..Inspectors should give priority to visiting unregistered providers." Page 63 To support and guide those inclusive schools that commission AP to avoid exclusion and re-engage disaffected pupils, LCC has published 'Alternative Provision Guidance for Commissioners', downloadable from www.lincolnshirechildren.net within the Inclusive Lincolnshire microsite.
