  8. Dragon Sport Review The Findings... Continuum Community

  9. Dragon Sport Review Continuum The need for a re-modelled Dragon Sport programme which provides a progressive learning experience, with overlapping phases to help young people consolidate their learning as they apply their skills in different forms of activity. (Sue Burgess Consultation Report, March 2010) There is too much separation between and distinction between different programmes run in schools. There is a lack of clarity about how programmes integrate.(Arad Consultation Report, August 2010) There is a need to refresh and update current provision and resources. (Dragon Sport Survey Results, Sept 2010)

  10. Dragon Sport Review cont. There should be a focus now on younger ages and developing physical literacy and general skills or linking with the foundation phase. There is also a need for multi-skills resources. (Dragon Sport Survey Results, Sept 2010) The programme should develop stronger links to the education agenda and the Estyn inspection framework on the basis that some schools will take it more seriously if they see the connection and potential impact on inspection reports. (Arad Consultation Report, August 2010)

  11. Dragon Sport Review cont. Community Dragon Sport needs to improve links with the community. The management data also backs up that the focus of the programme has been predominantly within schools. (Dragon Sport Survey Results, Sept 2010) There is a need to recruit more volunteers and encourage more parent participation. (Dragon Sport Survey Results, Sept 2010) A more local needs and club led approach was favoured to allow for more flexibility, continuity and closer working with NGBs. (Arad Consultation Report, August 2010)
