What is it?
We have teamed up with our colleagues from the 8 School Sport Partnership’s in Norfolk and Active Norfolk to launch the ‘Big Norfolk School Physical Activity Survey‘. The survey uses the online survey tool Koboca and sims to build insight that can support schools sport and physical activity offers, including the School Games, in order to improve your pupils physical activity levels, wellbeing and whole school outcomes.
What questions are included in the survey?
The survey is made up of a maximum of 10 questions (depending on year group). These cover the following topics:
- Which activities pupils would like to try
- How active pupils are
- Which pupils have/have not competed for their school team
- Who wants to be a sports leader
- Who can and cannot meet the national guidelines for swimming
- Nutritional knowledge
- Transition worries
- Resilience
- Well-being
- Support – someone to talk to
What are the benefits?
For schools:
- Instant personalised data on your pupils (accessible only to schools) to aid your understanding of how to increase pupils physical activity levels, support their wellbeing and target provision to those pupils who could benefit the most.
- Valuable insight on your pupils to help you use PE and Sport Premium funding more effectively and creatively, as well as providing evidence for Ofsted.
- Anonymised data sent to your School Sport partnership to support them in creating provision aimed at impacting who school priorities, not just PE.
For Pupils:
- Pupils voice to shape physical activity and wellbeing provision in their school/area
- An opportunity to give feedback and access School Games, or wider physical activity provision, that they want.
