Develop
In this category the focus is to increase the number of individual pupils that represent schools. These competitions provide the opportunity for less-engaged students, or those that are engaged but are perhaps less talented in traditional sports, to participate in non-traditional competitions. The ideal model for this is that the pupils that represent a school in the ‘Excel Competitions’ would not be eligible to play in ‘Development Competitions’, though we understand that there may be some crossover for smaller schools.
This competition tier is a new addition but is mostly based on existing sports. Where previously many schools have entered football and rugby players into dodge ball competitions, we aim to limit this so that other pupils may have the opportunity to represent their school at sport, rather than the most talented few monopolising the competition offer. The number of competitions has therefore not increased, but the new focus caters for an increase in the number of individual pupils that participate. The structure and format of these events may differ slightly with the potential introduction of alternative scoring and adapted rules implemented to assist with the provision of a more appropriate level of competition for the participants involved.
Excel
Excel based competitions catering for the most talented athletes and teams that your school can field, subject to some eligibility criteria (e.g. National Governing Body age restrictions on competitions). These competitions are an opportunity to showcase the sporting prowess of your school and for teams to progress to County finals and in most competitions to Regional and National finals. We would advocate an ‘in it to win it’ approach to team selection for these competitions, however this does not mean that schools with ‘weaker’ sides should not enter as the local SSPAN and County Final structure will allow each school to perform at their relevant level as it has done so in the past.
Inspire
Competitions/events that have the potential for different pupils, outside of the above competition pathways to represent their school in an event that is first and foremost about taking part and developing skills through sport. (Both physical and sport-transferable skills as well as life skills).
