Norwich Union GirlsActive Regional Centre

 

 

The Stafford and Stone School Sport Partnership has been designated by the Youth Sport Trust as one of seven Norwich Union GirlsActive Regional Centres. Regional Centre status has been assigned following our involvement in the programme since [2006/2007] when we attended a national roadshow and subsequently received a visit from Dame Kelly Holmes due to the winning action plan that we submitted.

 

Norwich Union GirlsActive is designed to empower teenage girls to enjoy more sporting activity on their own terms, making positive choices and being given a voice. It is also about enabling young people to make a positive contribution to their schools. Girls are challenged to come up with ideas on what they would change in their own schools in order to make sporting activity something they would want to participate in.

 

The Norwich Union GirlsActive Regional Centres will be a joint approach between the Sports College and the School Sport Partnership. The Sports College will lead on High Quality PE and curriculum innovation work and the School Sport Partnership will drive the implementation and innovation of an agreed regional delivery plan to increase girls' participation across the region.

 

The School Sport Partnership has been tasked with:

• Reaching 3000+ girls aged 13-16 through GirlsActive work within your region
• Acting as a hub site for girls' issues in sport across the region
• Developing innovation through GirlsActive to share and disseminate across other SSPs
• Ensuring all schools within SSP have GirlsActive as a leading piece of work and leading the way around girls' participation issues

As a hub site for girls' issues in sport across the region we would like to work with other SSPs in the area.
