Kings Mentoring

Year 13 students visit local Primary Schools each week to deliver an innovative PE and Games programme. The Clinical Commissioning Group (Hull) help to pay for the training of the sixth formers.

Aims

The aim is to beat the obesity epidemic within Hull schools. The lessons are highly active and great fun with an emphasis on inclusion.

Background

The Headmaster approached the CEO of Kings Foundation and suggested the idea.

Resources

We visit three local Primary Schools and deliver the programme to large numbers of children.

Impact

We assessed how many children were impacted by the programme in its first year and it came to over 300.

Pupil Involvement

Sixth Formers are all aged 17 - 18 and they teach students from Year 1 through to Year 4 at Collngwood Primary, Hessle Mount and St Richards schools.

Frequency

The project runs from September to February each academic year.
