fit4schools Programme

fit4schools programme

Each school will complete between 3 or 4 assessments per year.

Lesson timings can be restricted so it’s really important the lesson is delivered within the time frame. Refer to Assessment objectives whilst children are waiting for their sheets and remind them of these objectives throughout the lesson.

Assessment delivery: Focus on children completing activities using good technique (not looking for high scores to start with). Coach/child who demonstrates the activity should do this slowly and correctly for children to observe. Remaining assessments should encourage the same technique but improved score on each occasion.

Always refer to the importance of being healthy, improving scores and reminding children to login to the system to view their scores and download their programme cards.

KS1: At the start of each assessment remind children why they are doing the activities and that they must try their hardest and have fun!

KS2: At the start of each assessment inform the children you want them to focus on two objectives during the lesson (stars) and take one thing away with them (wish).
