SPORTSHALL AWARDS

LADDER OF SUCCESS - SECONDARY AGE

NOTES ABOUT AWARDS: Using the Score Card and the Points Tables shown on the previous pages, the participant's total can be added up and an award level attained. The Secondary age programme allows each student to gain a ‘fitness’ score from which they can then see their own improvement over time. In addition, the overall average fitness improvement of each team or class can also be measured. There are three Sportshall award badges to be gained at the Secondary Age: Bronze, Silver and Gold. These awards represent a high level of achievement and have been designed so that the top 30% of pupils in an average school should be capable of achieving at least a Bronze Award by the time they leave Year 8. Benefits of the Sportshall Awards: Totally inclusive and allows for mass participation No need to weigh children or use calliper testing Can be used for cross-curricular activities Data is easy to collect and analyse For Children: Fun to use Children can see their improvement as they rise up the Ladder of Success Skills that need improvement are easily identified Children can gain Awards so they have something to show for their efforts For Teachers: Easy to use Each child can be given a ‘fitness’ or Award level Can gauge relative fitness level expected for the exact age of the child Rewards act as an incentive for children to improve Fitness level improvement can be monitored for individuals, classes and the entire school Comparisons can be made against the cluster, partnership, county and national averages For School Sports Staff, SGOs and Sports Development Officers Fitness comparisons across clusters, partnerships and counties Can identity schools and cluster which need help Can show where fitness levels are improving Ideal programme for Sports Leaders to get involved in
