In partnership with Active Schools the Belmont Academy P.E Department run a transition programme open to the cluster pupils which allows them to visit the Secondary School to take part in sport and fitness.
Sports Leaders
As part of the school curriculum P.E Departments are running multiple Sports Leader qualifications. The Sports Leader and Sport and Recreation qualifications has been very popular within our secondary schools. We have been working with PE Departments to develop the course over the past few years. The senior pupils are currently learning to assist with activity sessions, creating fitness programmes and daily centre duties within the school, primary schools and leisure community setting. Active Schools work with PE in the organising employment opportunities in the sport and recreation industry by offering the leaders opportunities to develop their career in sport.
The Active Schools team have also been working to further upskill the young people by running Leadership Development Days where the leaders have been able to achieve a further 6 workshops and qualifications.
Sports leaders have also been helping deliver transition events within their secondary schools. Transition events are important for primary 6 and 7 pupils, giving them the opportunity to get access to the PE department, meet staff and meet new pupils from their local cluster before bump up days within the schools.
