CLUSTER / GAP / SUGGESTED ACTION / COMMENTS
Abergavenny /
  • PESS to go through self reviews with schools again
  • PESS to look to support more at KS3 / 4 (dependant on self reviews)
  • PESS to link with 5x60 – Dance and AA (Adventurous Activity)
  • Dragon Sport – Athletics exit routes

  • Dragon sport - Gap in transition from School extra curricular to Community exit routes
  • 5x60: Link with PESS for Dance and AA
  • 5x60: Links to community exit routes lacking
  • AA on 5x60 audit – use of Gilwern centre a possibility – School not sure, confident to use / take children of site!
  • Possibility to link outside of LA for community exit routes (Cardiff Surf example used)
/
  • Latent demand shown for Athletics but lack of LA community athletics club (only Crickhowell & Gilwern road running club! – not at present appropriate for 7-11 yr olds)
  • Possibility of outreach / stepping stone - using the park using orienteering set up, and also possibility of brining in staff from Gilwern to the comp as bridging gap!

Monmouth /
  • Dragon sport – Community links required for Athletics, netball, football, golf.
  • Transition between KS2 – 3 (dragon into 5x60 –at 5x60 offer 80% new activity, 20% consistent activity from what they have done at primary school)
  • 5x60 – exit routes KS3 – community required.
  • PESS self reviews re-do

Chepstow /
  • Dragon sports need to be added to cluster map before any gaps can be highlighted!!
  • Look at activities that PESS and Dragon are doing to forsee links to 5x60 audit when done!!
  • Leadership – as mentioned in other clusters (need process and agreement between school to train and AYP programmes to deploy!
/
  • Tom to add dragon sports to map and re-visit to look for gaps.

Caldicot /
  • Dragon Sport exit routes required for Athletics, hockey, football, tennis
  • Look at what sports from dragon sport to continue into the 5x60 programme for the cluster.

General LA things to consider /
  • Possibility of links with neighbouring LA’s to create a young peoples community athletics outlet. (Cwmbran, Newport etc – possibility of satellite clubs back into Monmouthshire)
  • Continuity between programmes – especially Dragon sport – 5x60. need to look at what the most popular dragon sports are for the clusters to make sure that they get carried into the year 7 5x60 programme (transition between programmes) Transition between KS2 – 3 (dragon into 5x60 –at 5x60 offer 80% new activity, 20% consistent activity from what they have done at primary school)
  • Some Dragon Sport Community outlets for required for the most popular sports win the cluster
  • 5x60 community club links really need developing!
  • PESS needs developing at secondary level (re-doing self reviews should help this)
  • School – community link work needs doing across the LA
  • Wider development work (looking at activities outside of Dragon etc – how do or should they fit in? (Go ride - cycling example)
  • Leadership – schools to take the lead in delivering the courses – needs process developed as to what happens from school – deployment / use by AYP team!
/
  • School club & link to community club should be developed hand in hand (community appears to be coming second or not at all!!)
