  2. Aims of Challenge Club • Stretch and challenge all pupils - not just the most able. • Investigate the ways we learn and use these to become more effective learners. • Engage and enthuse all pupils with the power of learning. • Develop and strengthen links with the home, community and other organisations. • Provide out-of-hours learning opportunities for all.

  3. The UFA’s Core Principles • Building a sense of BELONGING to the UFA • LEARNING modelled on the latest research • Develop trained learning TEAMS • CONNECTING home, school and community • Unshakable BELIEF in the potential of all to achieve success

  4. Anatomy of a Challenge-Club • Change from school uniform into UFA t-shirts and sign-in (registration and developing a sense of belonging to the UFA). • Begin with a Brain-Gym® activity and a warm-up (listening and/or thinking skills) • Introduce the main challenge • Allow quiet thinking time (unless detrimental to the activity) • Work in random or self-selected groups (very rarely as individuals). • Celebrate our achievements and take part in a cool-down exercise. • Challenge-Clubbers wear badges on their school uniforms so that the sense of belonging carries over into the school day. Pupils are very proud to be Challenge-Clubbers.

  5. Challenge-Nights • Develop links with the home and the community • Promote the UFA and develop the sense of ‘belonging to two organisations’ • Provide an insight for parents into how their children learn and how they, too can become better learners. • Provide opportunities for parents to socialise with each other. • Provide opportunities for Parents to work alongside their children in solving problems. • Give the pupils the chance to show their parents what fantastic learners they are.

  6. The UFA’s Core Principles • Building a sense of BELONGING to the UFA • Pupils are proud to be members of the UFA. They wear their t-shirts and badges with pride. On an evaluation form for the first Super Learning Day, one child drew himself. I think that this speaks for itself. • LEARNING modelled on the latest research • My Fellowship training and all the research and background reading I have carried out has equipped me to ensure that all learning styles are catered for. • Develop trained learning TEAMS • Other staff involved in UFA activity. Formal training tba. • CONNECTING home, school and community • Over 60 adults came to the first Challenge Evening to learn alongside their children. The UFA has a large display in the waiting area at the entrance of the school. UFA activity has been reported in the EiC Action Zone’s newsletter – distributed to most households across the zone. • Unshakable BELIEF in the potential of all to achieve success • No-one ever goes home a failure at challenge club. The Challenge Club attracts pupils of all abilities and backgrounds and is completely inclusive. Travel arrangements are being made for pupils who cannot come for transport reasons. This is likely to be a ‘buddy’ system.
