Whole-school effect
Description
The Hayesbrook School, an all-boys school near Tonbridge, uses sport as a tool to engage its students in many aspects of the curriculum and beyond. For instance, a citizenship class uses the theme of sport in refugee camps to trigger discussion, and analysing decathlon results enables students to understand how what they are learning in maths has practical applications. The school also uses sports leadership as an effective tool for engaging students. At The Coseley School, near Dudley in the West Midlands, staff spotted the potential of IT and video technology used in the PE department to effect change throughout the school. Coseley TV has proved invaluable in promoting students sense of engagement and self-worth - and it has changed the direction of at least one student's life.
