The Schools Active Community Coach

Primary Schools are hubs of activity in their communities. I am sharing my 15yrs of knowledge to help schools build an active ethos that will benefit everyone!

It’s the final week of the half term!

Our focus for this week is Active Interventions!

🔹Do you run then?
🔶Can you fit them into your timetable?

I well share intervention options as well as timetabling & a dry diving case study!

Space, the thing us PE teachers always want more of!

But the right playground markings can create more opportunities for activity, just be careful not to make it look like someone has gone mad with chalk all over it!

This weeks theme is Active Interventions

🔶Do you utilise them?
🔹How do you fit them in your timetable?
🔶Who leads them?

Done right, these sessions are game changers for pupils involved & help children see how activity can be used to help us learn in different ways!

Having a strong active ethos
means supports/promoting active options available outside of your school, so this includes community clubs

If you have active groups within your community, reach out to them & begin to build a network to support one another!

Remove barriers for educators to be active by creating Active Options for School Staff in your school

🔶 Is that the job of school leaders?

🔶 Is it necessary?

🔶 What are the benefits?

This can be an inexpensive way to boost wellbeing!

Morning #educhat

Quantity/Quality

Which 1 do you think is most Important in your #primayschool club offer

Do you have clubs with small numbers that could be bigger?

Do you have some that are so full no one is gaining anything from being there?

Let me know your thoughts 👇

[The Schools Active Community Coach @Staff_Challenge]

Extracurricular club

Love them or hate them?

You can’t deny the impact they can have on the pupils and their parent/guardians

Morning clubs are a great way to reach a high number of pupils will less input needed from staff than an after school club 👇

An Active Ethos goes beyond what the children do, but also what they see

Trips to sporting events are so rewarding, & enjoyable for pupils & staff

Whether it’s @wembleystadium or
your local #Netball team, so much can be taken from live sport opportunities

#educhat
#teachers

[The Schools Active Community Coach @Staff_Challenge]

Developing an Active Ethos means movement is incorporated in all areas of school, including the classroom

How many staff meetings & CPD sessions have you had to stop yourself dozing off in😴

Movement is possible, even in the smallest classroom

A brilliant idea that will make cycling more accessible to your community!

Having access to a bike is something so many of us will take for granted!

@TeacherCycling @Sustrans

[Christopher Harrison @MrHtheteacher]

Our bike library has arrived! Free to use for staff, children and families. 4 adult's bikes, 4 children's bikes, helmets and locks. We're so excited to introduce these to the school community

[The Schools Active Community Coach @Staff_Challenge]

@MrHtheteacher Love this, such a simple idea that can make a huge difference!

[The Schools Active Community Coach @Staff_Challenge]

@DeputyGrocott Morning #FFBWedneaday

I am Dan, @TeachersRunClub founder

I’ve started this page to share my experience in building an Active Ethos within primary schools

My focus is everything outside of curriculum PE. Highlighting all the ways we can create active opportunities around school

[The Schools Active Community Coach @Staff_Challenge]

Whether it’s skipping, yo-yos or diabolos, traditional games are great for free time activity

Not all break time play has to be a ‘sport’ & simple games like these can bring the playground to life

(And they don’t even realise that they are being active)
