Physical Activity Policy,
Extra-Curricular Opportunities,
Roles, Qualifications and
Pathways - Emotional Health
and Well-Being
Extra-Curricular
opportunities
Extra-curricular activities are carried out
in addition to those done in curriculum
time. A number of factors will influence
the range and type of activities, including:
Attitude (positive and negative)
and experience of staff
The range and quality of facilities available - some
school may have a swimming pool, multi-use games
area (MUGA), sports hall, playing fields, multi-gyms
and tennis courts, which increase the opportunities
to experience different sports. Other schools may
not be so well resourced and so this will limit the
activities the activities that the school can offer.
Outside visits to sports
providers, e.g. golf courses,
fitness gyms, climbing
walls, dry ski slopes.
Links to local clubs such as health clubs,
or a local collage who may help with
providing coaches and use of facilities.
Range of activities - competitive such
as athletics, basketball and football
teams, or recreational such as
Zumba, boxerciseand weight training.
How this is related to Lucy
Lucy's interest in athletics started after she attended a
summer holiday camp, following which she joined Murton
Athletics Club. She has represented the school at athletics
and the school's history of sporting success would suggest
that the school has the approriate facilities to enable a
range of activities to take place, and also staff are willing
to give up their time to run clubs and teams.
Roles
Schools can encouroge students
to adopt different roles in their
PE lessons and these are:
Player/performer
Leader/coach
Organiser
Official
These roles should involve the students
becoming involved in increasingly challenging
tasks. They should also be able to experience
the roles through volunteering, which may
then lead on to students following certain
career and volunteering pathways.
How this is related to Lucy
Lucy is experiencing the role of
performing in PE lessons. Her tallent
in athletics may have also seen her
take on the role of a coach in lessons
and helping other students improve
their performance. She could have
helped organise and officiate at the
school's sports day, and so
potentially Lucy could have
experienced all 4 roles. She could
then use her experience to volunteer
to coach and officiate at the athletics
club, particularly as the club is
struggling to recruit volunteers for
these roles. Once Lucy has reached
the age where she decides to stop
competing n athletics, she could take
on the role of coach, organiser or
official.
Qualifications and pathways.
There are a number of courses and
qualifications realting to PE. These include
GCSE PE, BTEC qualifications in various
aspects of sport and leisure, A Level PE and
numerous degree courses at universities.
Sports Performance Awards exist relating to specific sports,
such as athletics or gymnastics. Coaching, organising,
leadership and officiating awards are also available for
different sports. The Sport Leader and Community Sports
Leader Awards are often taught in schools and collages.
Proficiency awards are available and exist in
many sports and, in the case of swimming; a
life-saving award may enable a student to be
employed as a lifeguard. National governing
bodies run awars schemes in different
activities to encourage participation.
In GCSE PE, students can be assessed in different
roles, and this can help gain qualifications in the
selected areas and even lead to a career.
How this is related to Lucy
Lucy may be taking part in the Englis Schools Athletics Association Scheme, which encourages
secondary-school students to gain a Gold, Silver and Bronze Award by completing athletic
events. She may also be involved in the Sportshall Secondary Programme, providing an
opportunity for compeating at county and regional level, Lucy could become involved in
award schemes in coaching or officiating run by UK Athletics and gain qualification. She could
then help John at Murton Athletics Club as he is struggling to recruit volunteers.
National Healthy Schools Progremme
Introduced to improve the health
and achievement of young people
with the emphasis on a whole-school
approach involving children, staff,
parents and the community.
Though the delivery of PSHE education, which stands
for personal, social, health and economic education,
involves looking at different life issues including:
Sex education
Drug education
Ensuring the health
and safety of students
Providing opportunities for
enjoyment and achievement
Healthy Eating - young people should
be provided with information to :

Make them aware of what a balanced diet is; children
should have access to healthy food throughout the day
and school lunches should offer healthy food options
Make them aware of the problems associated
with a poor diet, such as obesity and anorexia
Physical activity - provides a wide
range of opportunities for young
people to be active. Guidelines include:
A recommendation for 2 hours of
physical activity each week to be
available in and out of curriculum
time, with a range of activities
provided.
Community links with
local clubs to
encourage participation
Outside visits to sports providers
Emotional health and well-being, which ensures
schools have a bullying policy, a supportive
pastoral system, and behaviour and reward policy
How this relates to Lucy
Lucy will have experienced the benefits
of a Healthy Schools Programme in all 4
areas at Murton Secondary School. The
school actively promotes physical activity
and healthy lifestyles, and could be doing
this in a number of ways, including:
Teaching the students
about balanced diet in
Food Technology lessons
Making sure the school canteen
offers healthy food choices
Vending machines with
fruit juice and water
rather than fizzy drinks.
Timetabled PE lessons for 2 hours
Providing a range
of extracurricular
activities
Establishing links with
local clubs, such as
Murton Athletics Club
Running activities in the school
holidays, sauch as the summer
holiday athletics camp run by
Lucy's coach, John
