Summary
We wish to improve the physical and mental health and well-being of the children at St. Luke's Primary by increasing the amount of time they spend engaging in extracurricular physical activity. We will fund the purchase of new sports equipment for Basketball, football, netball and Rugby lunchtime and afterschool clubs. We will use the funds to promote wider achievements and allow the children to take part in sporting events out with school.Description
The funds would allow the school to purchase new sports equipment for our young move & improve leaders to be able to deliver lunchtime sports clubs as well as support our afterschool clubs lead by active schools’ volunteers.
We wish to continue with the success of our extra-curricular clubs. The funds would allow us to pay for transport to take teams and classes to upcoming tournaments which are organised by North Ayrshire Active Schools. We would add to our existing sports kit to allow the children to be identified and part of the team.
The school have Young Sports Leaders who have responsibility for promoting physical activity in the playground. The children undertook training in playground games and have requested playground equipment to fully engage all the children in the school. The fund would be used to purchase this equipment. The children will work closely with North Ayrshire’s Active Schools Coordinator to successfully deliver their lunchtime clubs, which will run each day for the rest of the academic year.
Physical and mental health and wellbeing is always at the heart of St. Lukes’ agenda. Afterschool sports clubs are an excellent way to engage children in physical activity and improve their health and mental well-being. Exposing children to sports and physical activity in an afterschool environment encourages them to explore the sport in the community and strengthens the pathways into the sport. It is hoped that that the afterschool clubs will encourage more children to participate in sport and thus increase their physical fitness. Due to the cost-of-living crisis, after school clubs are the only opportunity that some children have to participate in sports.
Through this fund we wish to improve aspects of fitness and develop personal and interpersonal skills and attributes. We want to enable learners to develop the concepts and skills necessary for participation in a wide range of physical activity, sport and outdoor learning and enhance their physical wellbeing in preparation for leading a fulfilling, active and healthy lifestyle.
The school’s Young Sports Leaders (Primary 6 and 7 pupils) are involved in this application through providing their opinion on the after-school clubs they wish to have established. The have selected the equipment needed for their lunchtime ‘Playground Games’ club.
Sports equipment - £300
School sports kit - £200
Buses to sporting events - £500
TOTAL - £1000
Location: St Luke's Parent Council work in partnership with the parents/carers, pupils and staff to ensure all children reach their full potential and reap the maximum rewards from their educational experience. We listen to the children and take on board their ideas and suggestions in order to make improvements and to meet their needs. Children’s wellbeing is at the forefront of all that we do and we are committed to safeguarding the bright, happy and successful future of all. Together we also aim to build a prosperous community. We are driven in our shared goal that every child will be fully supported in becoming a successful learner, confident individual, effective contributor and responsible citizen. The Play Leaders are children who have been trained in the Move and Improve Programme. Speaking with all children in the school, they were told that they all would like to make improvements in the playground and that they would like there to be better equipment which they can use during the school day and afterwar
