Thursday 16thJanuary 2014 Vicky Dean
Outcomes of session • Relate to others in the group and identify the purpose of the workshop • Understand the public Health and School Contexts that Change4Life Sports clubs should be positioned against • Have a sound knowledge and understanding of the Change4Life Sports Club rationale and principles • Use the 5 steps to success in order to position and deliver Change4Life Sports Clubs against school priorities • List the components of the resources and the role of the resources as key tools in the club • Identify the equipment within each theme and set up an activity
Public Health Context • The 2011/12 evaluation by The National Obesity Observatory shows: One in five children in Reception is overweight or obese (boys 23.5%, girls 21.6%) One in three children in Year 6 is overweight or obese (boys 35.4%, girls 32.4%)
The costs of Physical Inactivity Physically inactive children £21bn cost to NHS £1750 a year extra health costs Lower attainment Children with inactive parents are far less likely to be active and twice as likely to be obese 2 extra days a year missed from school
Public Health Context • Fifth wave of public health where prevention is a focus rather than the cure. • Health policy is focussed on emotional health and wellbeing starting at an early age. • Physical activity is high on the agenda and how it can assist young people in making lifestyle choices. • Healthy weight is about the understanding of healthy active lifestyles NOT about obesity.
Our Context • OfSTED will now be inspecting PE, School Sport and Healthy Active Lifestyles • £60m of investment for school sport from Dept. Health • Using the impact of physical activity and school sport to raise standards with vulnerable groups • Narrowing the achievement gap with pupil premium pupils
Change4Life Sports Clubs “School Sport Clubs are engaging less active young people in positive physical activity and changing fundamental health behaviours”
Change4Life Sports Clubs - Rationale • Physical activity levels drop between the ages of 7 and 9 in vulnerable children. • Provision of PE and school sport for these children is often overlooked. • School workforce is often challenged in trying to engage target groups in positive physical activity. • Positive physical activity environments lead to lifelong participation where sustained involvement takes place (i.e. More than 20 weeks) • Schools are in a unique position to inspire and engage children in a positive environment through school based activity clubs. • Children will sustain participation where they have a sense of belonging and contribution.
Change4Life Sports Clubs - Principles • Attract less active young people in multi-sport and non-traditional school sport clubs. • Build a network of Change4Life Sports Clubs on school sites designed and led by the school. • Use the inspiration of Olympic and Paralympic values, self reporting and a strong brand. • Respond to what young people want. • Develop a “sense of belonging” and establishes a regular culture of attendance and participation. • Utilise the club environment to change behaviours around key health areas.
