To help develop pupils physical literacy in Foundation stage and Key stage 1 pupils each member school will be entitled to benefit from a range of opportunities provided by the SSP.
Multi Skills Festivals
In 2013/14 over 1800 pupils took part in our highly successful multi skills festivals. The festivals aim to provide a fun opportunity for pupils in Yr R-2 to take part in an off site non competitive sports event. For many pupils it will be the first sports event that they have ever been to and we hope that it inspires them to develop a habit of wanting to take part in future sports events. At the festivals pupils take part in a carousel of multi skill activities which aim to develop their basic physical movement skills.
Multi Skills Coaching (Yr R-2)
Each member school with KS R/1 pupils will be offered a coaching programme for its pupils to help developed their fundamental physical literacy. The programme should also be used to help school staff understand the concept of multi skills so that they can use the method in their own lessons. To ensure this benefit is received, it is important that school staff observe all sessions. The coaching sessions should only be used to target pupils in Reception -Yr 2.
Multi Skills Resources
All schools that receive multi skills coaching will be left with a pack of multi skills resource cards which will include all of the sessions that have been delivered as well as a number of others. This will help the school continue to deliver multi skills after the coach has left.
