Lancashire Active Healthy Minds 2016 - 2018

Do we provide the framework to unlock our pupils’ potential away from academic studies in order to deal with ‘the wide world that awaits us still?’.

Pressure of academic success created by society, individuals, family and friends has seen an increase in many different forms of mental health issues, both big and small, nationally and true to form at LGGS.

Do our girls leave LGGS being able to face failure and challenge head on?

My Personal Best

aim is to introduce 12 life-skills to build the 5 types of ability in the way we teach: these are the skills needed to achieve your personal best academically and personally.

Offer a PE curriculum which provides opportunities to realise and experience development in life skills which will allow all individuals to become well-rounded young ladies, who not only have the ability to achieve outstanding academic grades, but relish any personal or professional obstacle they face beyond school.

Induction Lesson

Example of Resilience: Athletics Scheme of Work

Resilience• Helps you to keep going when things get tough

• Enables you to bounce back from a defeat

• Encourages you to take risks and learn from your mistakes

• Supports you to take on greater challenges

• Gives you a sense of achievement when you succeed.

Activities can:

• Offer appropriate challenge that moves learners out of their comfort zone

• Focus on mastery and self-improvement rather than comparative goals

• Demand continued effort and practice

Lesson Ideas to include developing resilience:• 100m – run 1 followed by run 2: learn from errors, have another person analyse their performance and comment on their technique before the

next attempt (Video analysis). This could also be done in any throws or jumps.

• 1500m and 800m, preserve when things are difficult. Set a target at the beginning of the task and try to have the resilience to stick to this and

fulfil their goal.

• Choose their weakest or most challenging event and try the event again. Return and try again after set backs. After doing all the activities, set a

challenge to complete the event that they found the most challenging.

How could we as teachers use it?

Self Management:

A pupil coming to you, prior to the lesson they are going to miss, to ascertain what

they need to do/catch up on.

Evaluation:

A pupil hasn’t quite grasped a concept within class, but they give detailed

feedback about how they can improve and different methods to try next time.They then appreciate that failure isn’t a

dead end, but part of the learning process.
