    National Governing Bodies of Sport Survey Competitive School Sport Summary Report June 2014 Prepared by the TOP Foundation for Ofsted SportPark, Loughborough University, 3 Oakwood Drive, Loughborough, LE11 3QF NGB Competitive School Sport Investigation Summary Report Executive Summary In the spring of 2014 an investigation commissioned by Ofsted explored the school backgrounds, ethnicity and socioeconomic status of some of our best adult and age group international sport teams. The same investigation asked 29 National Governing Bodies of sport (NGBs) to report on their competitive school sport provision in 39 different sports; 26 (90%) NGBs agreed to take part and they reported on 35 sports. This NGBs report is part of a wider investigation being undertaken by Ofsted into competitive school sport for Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education, Children’s Services and Skills (HMCI), Sir Michael Wilshaw, which includes a supporting report with input from headteachers. This investigation collated 6 different sets of data on the known school backgrounds of: i. Current international representatives from 14 sports (n=224) ii. London 2012 Olympic Team (n=279) iii. London 2012 Paralympic Team (n=106) iv. Players competing in national leagues in 5 sports (n=543) v. UK Sport’s Athlete Insights Survey: Olympic sports (n=606) vi. UK Sport’s Athlete Insights Survey: Paralympic sports (n=247). Analysis showed similar trends across the different data sets. The 2 Paralympic data sets provided a mean of 81% for athletes attending state schools only, 13% for independent schools only and 3% for both types of school. The 2 Olympic data sets provided a mean of 66% for athletes attending state schools only, 22% for independent schools only and 6% for both types of school.

  • Explanation Read the Text
    NEW TREASURY 5 | ASSESSMENT 2 FOLENS ENGLISH SKILLS PROGRAMME Part 1: Comprehension Explanation Read the text. What is Rounders? Introduction Rounders is a bat and ball game played by two teams. The objective of the game is to score more points or ‘rounders’ than the opposing team. The two teams alternate between batting and fielding. A game usually has five innings (turns to bat and field). Rounders are scored by the batting team when one of their players bats and then runs past three bases and reaches home base without being put ‘out’ by the fielding team. How to play The pitcher bowls the ball underarm to the batter. The batter is entitled to three good bowls. A bowl is a ‘bad bowl’ if it does not reach the striking site between the batter’s knees and top of head; if it is thrown wide; or if it is thrown into the batter’s body. The batter is ‘out’ if he or she fails to strike on the third good ball and the catcher catches the ball before it hits the ground; if he or she hits a third good ball into the ‘foul’ area; if he or she drops the bat while running; if a fielder taps the base with the ball before the batter reaches it; if a fielder touches the running batter with the ball; or if a fielder catches a struck ball before it hits the ground. Batters must run in straight lines between bases. Fielders and batters must not obstruct each other. When a batter leaves home base, each runner on a base may advance to the next and subsequent bases.

  • Rules of Rounders
    Rules of Rounders Aim of the Game To score the most Rounder’s as a team across 2 innings. Equipment 1 x Ash Rounder Bat 4 x Wooden Posts 1 x Leather Ball Suitable for 12 – 18 players age 6+ History of the Game Rounders dates back to at least 18th Century England, where it was played primarily by boys. It is first mentioned in 1744 in a book called A Little Pretty Pocket Book. It is likely to have evolved from stoolball. The first formal rules were drawn up in Ireland in 1844, following which associations were formed for the game in Liverpool and Scotland. The National Rounders Association was formed in 1943. Although Rounders is thought to be older than baseball, references to early forms of base-ball in England exist before the term rounders was used. Rounders is now played mostly within schools but also at an international level. Pitch Set Up The pitch should be laid out as shown in the diagram below. Although this can be changed if using a smaller area. Distances are indicated in blue. Bowlers Square Batters Square Backstop line Playing the Game Games are played between 2 teams of between 6 and 9 players on the field at any one time. 1) One team bats whilst the other team fields and bowls. 2) The bowler stands in the bowlers square and the first batter stands in the batters square. 3) The bowler bowls the ball to the batter who tries to hit the ball. 4) The batter then runs past as many posts as they can in turn before the fielders can get the ball to the next post the batter is heading for.
