For my work placement I am currently working at Five Lanes Primary School which is a School that is based on the outskirts of Leeds City centre, in a small area called Wortley. The school is full of mixed genders, mixed religions and mixed abilities which for me as a coach is brilliant as then I get to broader my range of knowledge of coaching from the children as they will all learn and act in a different way.
The school itself have their own mission statement which states ‘ Aiming High, is reflected in pupil’s good behaviour’. Using this statement it gives me a good opportunity to develop my knowledge and understanding to how life in a primary school works and it will also help me develop my knowledge even further and help build the confidence and motivation of the year 1 children that I am working with and doing this through the session plans created. The roles and responsibilities of my job are as follows;
Roles and Responsibilities
- Planning and carrying out session plans which aim to develop different FUNdamental movements for the children and making sure they are having fun within the sessions.
- Having to deal with certain situations like warm ups, game rotations and making sure that everyone taking part in the session is included.
- Lastly, creating a positive relationship between myself the coach and the children taking part ensuring there are now barriers between us which could lead to them not wanting to take part in any of the sessions provided.
