Estimated Price
£1,000
Summary
The Play Leaders, supported by the Parent Council, are requesting £1000 to purchase play and sporting equipment so they can provide a variety of free and accessible extracurricular opportunities during and after school. As a Rights Respecting Gold School, we consistently advocate pupil voice and participation in the planning and delivery of events, improvements and decision making. The Play Leaders consulted over 200 children who advised health and wellbeing, well-resourced clubs and improvements to the playground are a top priority. Therefore they wish to purchase equipment which will enable them to deliver a diverse programme of play and sporting activities and encourage wider pupil participation. In addition to physical skills, participating children will develop skills in communication, determination, resilience and motivation. The Play Leaders also recognise the significance of leading a healthy and active lifestyle and aim to inspire other children to do so by encouraging them to take part in fun, physical, well-resourced and organised games and activities in a safe and nurturing environment throughout the day.
Description
The Play Leaders have been trained in the Move and Improve Programme and work in partnership with Active Schools, local clubs and secondary pupils to organise clubs, events and opportunities throughout the yearly calendar. After having consulted over 200 children, they approached the Parent Council to request their help in funding their Play Leader Programme. The Parent Council fully support the Play Leaders aim to improve the fitness, health and happiness of all children and endorse their application for funding to purchase new pla7 and sporting equipment. On a daily basis, the Play Leaders will deliver various clubs in the playground which will be free and accessible to all from Primary 1 to Primary 7. They will support children in developing their social, mental and physical knowledge and skills and will teach them new games and sports. The Play Leaders have already gained great leadership skills, demonstrated teamwork and sportsmanship during training and in planning and organising their activities. They have researched the equipment they require for these clubs and have itemised them and their cost in the below grid.

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 afterwards at clubs. Therefore the Play Leaders have brought this to the Parent Council and have asked for their support in making applications to fund this project and support the voice and wellbeing of our young people.
