NEWSLETTER TERM 1 2015 GSP MAKES A BIG IMPACT IN SCHOOLS

hroughout the last academic year GSP continued to work hard to Tensure a high-quality service was delivered in all the partnership schools. Over the year the sports partnership had several successes including, coming 2nd nationally for the amount of schools awarded with the Kitemark accreditation, hosting a GSP PE and School Sports Conference and delivering at the Youth Sport Trust’s national Sports Conference. Although the national successes are a huge achievement, GSP’s main focus remains with the local schools and the impact the delivery has in Medway. Therefore following last academic year the local impact GSP made included: • 352 pupils trained in year 6 Sports Crew Leadership • 207 teams participated in primary competitions • 1963 pupils participated in primary competitions • 18 primary competitions / fixtures organised • 150 teams participated in secondary competitions • 1217 pupils participated in secondary competitions • 16 secondary competitions / fixtures One of the great facts from last year organised is that all of the primary competitions • 45 schools registered on the had an increase in schools entering WELCOME TO yourschoolgames website last academic year.

GREENACRE SPORTS PARTNERSHIP NEWSLETTER Primary Snapshot Lesson Support: What To Expect The 1:1 lesson support is designed to support teachers to improve their confidence to deliver PE in a specific sport. The GSP team will work for a whole term with each member of staff and will complete a questionnaire at the start and end of the CPD to track the impact the CPD is having. This report along with the feedback from each week will then get emailed to the Headteacher and Sports Coordinator so they have evidence of the support that has been provided. During term 1, 25 teachers received the 1:1 lesson support, 100% of staff improved their confidence levels and 84% of staff rated the support as excellent, with the remaining rating the service as good. If you are interested in this support please do not hesitate to contact us.
