PE Progression ChartQuality Marks
The School Games Mark continues to be positioned as a tool to help schools reflect on their engagement in the School Games. The award is centred around the principles of the School Games outcomes. The purpose of the Mark is to reward and recognise a school’s engagement (provision and uptake) in the School Games against a national benchmark, and to celebrate keeping young people active. This will be reflected through the award levels of bronze, silver, gold, and platinum.
The outcomes of School Games Mark and the School Games are linked. Schools will need to demonstrate how they are/have:
-Maintaining and growing your school’s engagement in the School Games and your delivery of the Chief Medical Officer’s (CMO) 60 active minutes for every child or 20 minutes for SEND young people.
-Delivering and engaging in competitions that has clear intent and creates positive experiences based on the motivation, competence and confidence of your young people that need support most.
-A clear focus on transition points (e.g. Yr.3 and Yr.6/7 as well as those in three tier systems) and how secondary schools are engaging in the School Games.
-Supporting the personal development of targeted young people through youth engagement and leadership.
-Advocating and engaging key stakeholders on the value of the School Games to support local provision and improve the experiences for your young people and their families.
Pathway to Podium is an initiative to recognise and celebrate the commitment of Birmingham schools to PE, school sport and physical activity as part of a more enriched curriculum. The programme has been developed by a range of partners including Sport Birmingham, a group of Head Teachers and senior leaders from Birmingham schools, School Games Organisers in the city and has the support of national partners including the Association for PE and Youth Sport Trust.
Through the initiative, schools self-assess themselves against a set of criteria that combine to form the pillars of an active school. These criteria fall under the themes of PROFILE, PEOPLE, PLACES, PARTICIPATION and PERFORMANCE.
