Our new Sports Council met together for the first time this morning to discuss PE in our school and how to improve it. This involves a boy and a girl from each class from Year 1 all the way up to Year 6.
If you have any suggestions on how to improve PE and sports within our school, then please tell your Sports Council rep and they will feedback at the next meeting.

Our Girls Active club has started on Tuesday morning at 8:30 for girls in Year 3 and 4.

This is a chance to make PE and sports more motivating and appealing to girls.

Research shows that:

• By age 7 girls are already less active than boys and this disparity widens as they move from childhood into adolescence
• Secondary-age girls are more likely to experience barriers to participation than boys
• The biggest drop-off occurs during the transition from primary to secondary school, with disruption to friendship groups and declining body confidence affecting girls’ participation in PE and sport.

There are six key principles that underpin effective practice in engaging girls in PE, sport and physical activity. These have positive relationships at their core and are supported by whole school policies and practice.

1. Take a long-term approaching to engaging girls
2. Put developing self-confidence at the heart of PE
3. Make PE and sport relevant to girls' lives
4. Recognise the power of friends to drive progress
5. Develop role models for the future
6. Empower girls to design and deliver PE and sport.

We are delighted to announce that we, the Rosary Catholic Primary School, have achieved the School Games Gold Mark Award for the 2018/19 academic year for the third year in a row!

The School Games Mark is a Government led award scheme launched in
2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success.

With a total of young people competing in local inter-school
competitions this year, we are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our competitions possible.

As part of our application, we were asked to fulfill criteria in the areas of
participation, competition, workforce and clubs, and we are pleased that
the hard work of everyone at our school has been rewarded this year.

Well done, lets see if we can make it four years!!
