Mangotsfield SGO Area
In what are challenging times, the School Games Organiser Network (450 SGOs) have been tasked with keeping children active (in support of schools)
1. To maintain and grow school engagement in the School Games and their delivery of 60 active minutes.
2. To create positive experiences by ensuring physical activity and competition provision is designed to reflect the motivation, competence and confidence of young people and has clear intent.
3. To have a clear focus on secondary schools and transition pupils ( Yr3 & Yr7/8)
4. To create positive experiences that support the character development of young people, capitalising on Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games by empowering young people to design, deliver and promote Physical Activity and / or Competition.
5. To advocate to key stakeholders how the School Games makes a meaningful difference to the lives of children and young people, including supporting schools to engage and educate parents.
Throughout the year I will provide face to face competitions / festivals, personal challenges, virtual competitions, leadership opportunities and courses for schools.
In Term 1 all primary schools were invited to an Area X Country held at Mangotsfield Secondary School on 23rd October. To promote physical activity the Happy Healthy Halloween Activity Sheet has been sent to all schools encouraging children and families to get active and creative over October half term. ( attached)
