Outwood Grange Academy is looking for a reliable, dynamic, and enthusiastic School Games Organiser (SGO).
The role of the SGO is to support all schools in the local area by promoting the importance of physical activity and coordinating appropriate competitive opportunities to be enjoyed by all young people across Key Stages 2-4. In addition, the SGO will recruit, train and deploy students, PE apprentices and volunteers as sports leaders/officials and support the development of club opportunities for all young people.
The post holder will work with national guidance from Sport England and the Youth Sport Trust and within a local partnership of School Games Organisers, the Active Partnership and wider stakeholders.
The SGO will be responsible for meeting the following Key Performance Indicators:
1. To maintain school engagement and support schools to continue to prioritise and to deliver 60 active minutes for every child thus providing opportunities for young people to improve their physical, emotional and social wellbeing
2. To ensure physical activity and competition provision supports young people’s wider development including their ability to re-socialise and supports their psychological and physiological fitness.
3. To identify and have ongoing provision that targets young people for who physical activity levels have been most negatively impacted by COVID-19 (those particularly from low socio-economic areas, BAME, SEND and Girls).
4. To have a continued focus on secondary school engagement – with a focus on supporting those young people who have just transitioned into Year 7/8.
5. To ensure that the local offer provides opportunities for young people to take on leadership and volunteering roles.
