Why the Variance - What is a School Club Link in Surrey?: Why the Variance - What is a School Club Link in Surrey? Agreement between a school and a community based sports club.
PESSCL Definition:
"A school has links with a club when pupils are actively guided towards club activities, either in a quality assured setting at the club itself or on the school premises. Activities on the school premises would include regular coaching sessions and out-of-hours clubs organised by the club’s coaches, but would not include one-off ‘taster’ sessions. Pupils have to be actively participating with the club that has links to the school: it is not enough for the school simply to promote/advertise the club, as set out in the ‘School-club links’ guide."
School Club Links Case Study in NWSSSP: School Club Links Case Study in NWSSSP PDM & SDO’s invited local clubs to attend a workshop.
SDO’s, SSCo’s, PDM & 40 representatives from 27 local clubs attended.
PDM & SDO’s set the scene (PSA target, recent “5 hour” announcement, what is a SCL and benefits to all involved).
Woking Blackhawks rep gave a real example of a local SCL in action.
Contact details of all SSCo’s were distributed with diagram of schools.
Main part of the evening was networking – SSCo’s and club reps made initial contact and have subsequently met to discuss how things can move forward.
