Women's T20 Cricket World Cup – School’s Day 

This year England are hosting the Women's T20 Cricket World Cup. It will be a great chance to watch the best international cricket in our country!

To raise awareness and celebrate 50 days to go until the competition, the ECB are inviting schools to take part in schools' day on 23rd April. You can read about the day here, where you can also have the opportunity to sign up for resources for the day.

The ECB aim is to embed cricket, and specifically the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, across the curriculum throughout the day, allowing children to participate in cricket related activities, learn about the tournament and inspire a love of the game. By increasing accessibility of women’s and girls' cricket, the ECB have bold ambitions to embed cultural change within schools and for all school children.

It would be fantastic to see as many schools as possible engaging in cricket activities on this day. If you do - please send us a photo! 

We look forward to seeing your cricket activities! 

Beyond ‘Find a Partner’: Inclusive Grouping Strategies in Physical Education

 

Grouping students is something we do in almost every Physical Education lesson. It is an inherent characteristic of our subject, whether pairing to practice an isolated skill, forming teams for a game, or collaborating in a problem-solving task. Yet, for some students, this is a high-stress moment. The words “find a partner” or “make a group of three” can appear harmless, but for many, they may trigger anxiety, uncertainty and/or embarrassment.

Well School Festival (Cornwall/ Devon) – Tuesday 28th April (Marine Academy, Plymouth)

What is a Well School?

Well Schools is a movement of over 2,000 schools and Academy Trusts taking positive action to improve education outcomes by supporting the health and happiness of their staff and pupils across the UK. The evidence shows that there is a clear link between higher levels of wellbeing, academic attainment, and other educational outcomes.

Well School Festivals

These free events bring together school leaders and educators to explore the Well Schools approach and the growing importance of wellbeing to school improvement. With growing issues around attendance, behaviour and inclusion, we will explore how physical activity underpins children's engagement with learning and development and gain practical insights from schools and trusts already embedding a Well School approach. Alongside keynote inputs and case studies, there will be opportunities to network and discover the full range of Well School resources and support.

Events timings will be 10am - 2.30pm.

The festivals will help you:

  • Understand a Well School or Trust improves school outcomes and contributes to Ofsted
  • Learn from real examples of Well School practice in schools and Multi-Academy Trusts
  • Build a local network to collaborate on improving learning and wellbeing
  • Find out more about the Youth Sport Trust - our mission and the support we offer.

Dates, venues and registration links:

  • Tuesday 28th April, Marine Academy Plymouth, Trevithick Road, St Budeaux, Plymouth PL5 2AF. Register here
