Northumberland yoUR Leaders KS3 PE Resource Dissemination & Familiarisation Event
yoUR Leaders is a flexible student centred curriculum model, based on Sport Education principles, within which pupils learn to plan, manage and run their own sports ‘season’ (which may comprise one or several units of work) as part of their curricular PE programme.

Developments in Northumberland
10 of our proactive secondary (middle and high schools) were recently invited to attend the above workshop aimed at:
Providing key members of staff & SSCo’s, from nominated pilot schools, with an opportunity to:
- Develop an understanding of yoUR Leaders and how it can be used as a student centred curriculum model to support the new secondary curriculum and contribute to other national strategies.
- Identify the benefits for young people of using this approach in lessons and discuss how they might pilot the roll out yoUR Leaders as a curriculum unit within their own school (produce an action plan supporting its development).
- Become familiar with the newly developed yoUR Leader resource pack (each attending school received 1 Free resource to support them in their developmental work)
Agreed Actions
Following this successful workshop (attending staff were extremely positive!) the schools in question, with the support of their SSCo’s have agreed to:
1.Submit an action plan by Friday 23rd October, detailing their 5 steps to introducing and pilotting yoUR leaders resource to support the new secondary curriculum and fit with existing leadership frameworks in their department/school/partnership

3.Submit a case study or success story to share evaluate the impact on their students and to help other schools in the second phase of the roll out in Northumberland)
