School Programmes and Whole-School Enrichment Delivery

We can add value to School Communities through Wellbeing Health-Checks of a Whole School, PE lessons, PSHE lessons, Extra-curricular, Themed days, School teams, Interventions and Referrals, Staff CPD and more!

Every School is the same; they have a population of young people with mental health, who need to learn how to journey with their wellbeing better.

Yet, every School is different; they have a specific context in how to engage and empower the student population.

Our priority is to work within a School Community regularly and on a long-term basis.
Our financial model means that the majority of our Schools pay for our services, with a small proportion of initial 6-week journeys being funded through grants.

Our School Services include:

• Wellbeing Health-Checks of a Whole School
  Understanding the landscape of a School through meetings with School Leaders, Teachers and students, and collecting wellbeing data of students, to shape a tailored empowerment plan. 
  
  

• PE lessons
  Lessons delivered during curriculum time (40-120 minutes) that include Basketball and Wellbeing development education.
  

• BETTER Experiences Trips and Activities 
  Providing safe, practical and inspiring experiences within charitable voluntary contexts.
  

• PSHE lessons and/or School Takeover/Themed days
  You can see a variety of topics on the Workshops and Seminars page
  
  

• Extra-curricular Clubs
  With a participation or elite-performance focus (often focusing on School teams); increased numbers and improved performance levels can occur simultaneously, but we will work with you to aim towards your primary goal.
  

• Referrals and Targeted Intervention (1-to-1 or small groups)
  Empowering and nurturing targeted smaller groups or individuals with specific or emerging needs.
  
  

• Leadership Development of Young Leaders [Students] and Staff Continued Professional Development
  Equipping staff individuals or cohorts with our Sporting and Wellbeing expertise and experiences.
  
  

We aim to deliver over a minimum of 6-12 weeks with cohorts to facilitate and monitor impact.

Which Type of School will you start off as?

The “Launch Pad School”

Enlists our services for a 6/12 week initial journey then consider how Guardian Ballers can positively-impact your School Community on a longer-term basis.

The “Rolling Annual Pic’ n Mix School”

Enlist our services for one year at a time with multiple cohorts across multiple 6-12 week journeys, alternating between PE lessons and targeted Seminars/Interventions/BETTER experiences as the Exam Calendar and School events fluctuate. As the year ‘rolls’, you enlist adhoc services as needs and budget opportunities arise.

The “ALL-IN School”

A Cardinal Wiseman (Coventry) Case Study through a selection of highlights over an 24+ month partnership:

• Reach the majority of the School Population for a minimum of 4 sessions (CW: 800 students) through PE lessons, extracurricular clubs and interventions.

• Increase participation across your whole School population so you can enter School teams for Girls and Boys in local Schools leagues at every key stage and multiple year groups, leading to success. Success tends to breed further independent pursuits too!

• Host and lead at multiple innovative collaborative and community events.
  

• Be open to opportunities to creatively capture impact, celebrate the diversity of your community and inspire communities beyond your walls.

• Enable leadership pathways ‘on their doorstep’ for maturing students to invest in their young peers.

• Provide targeted intervention to nurture targeted smaller groups or individuals with specific or emerging needs.

• Help establish links with local stakeholders (exemplified here for how we bridged a link to the Violence Reduction Partnership [Police] Faith Alliance)

• Positive PR and Media exposure can come be a positive bonus…
