Girls Active<br />
Girls<br />
Active is an initiative that supports schools to motivate girls to take part in physical<br />
activity. Developed by the Youth Sports Trust, Girls Active aims to address the decline in<br />
activity levels of girls as they transition into and progress in secondary school, helping them to achieve<br />
the government’s recommendation of a minimum of 60 minutes of physical activity per day.<br />
Barriers that girls face to participation such as negative attitudes towards body image, improving attitudes<br />
towards PE, Sport and Physical activity are addressed with the aim of making sport relevant to girls’ lives.<br />
This has been our inaugural year in the Girls Active campaign which began in March with the recruitment<br />
of 6 girls to take a leading role. Isra Jadoon, Areeba Ali, Sanjana Bhola, Nikola Szczawinska, Lizandra<br />
Pereira and Shenon Dias attended a day at Brunel University in which they explored the challenges<br />
girls face and the strategies they can implement at <strong>Cranford</strong> to motivate and inspire girls from across<br />
the school to get more active.<br />
They have since met with the PE Department and made suggestions about what can be done to improve<br />
girls’ attitudes towards PE lessons, requested new extra-curricular activities that might appeal more to<br />
girls, assisted in the running of sports events and extra-curricular activities and started making a longterm<br />
plan about how to engage more girls in physical activity at <strong>Cranford</strong>.<br />
Amiri Brothers Going for Gold<br />
I<br />
Lucy Ridgeon (PE Department)<br />
first started doing Taekwondo when I was<br />
9 years old and my brother (Nesaar) was 7.<br />
Our dad encouraged us to take up the sport as<br />
used to do it when he was younger and told us it<br />
was great fun. We have learnt respect, discipline,<br />
built up strength and confidence in self-defence.<br />
I train two times per week but when it is<br />
competition time I have to train 4 times<br />
per week. I am really dedicated and would<br />
love to represent team GB in the Olympics<br />
one day with my brother on the same team.<br />
So far we have entered many tournaments and<br />
been successful. I (Yasser) have 4 golds, 3<br />
silvers and 2 bronze medals. Nesaar my younger<br />
brother has 2 golds, 4 silvers and 3 bronze medals. Recently I won silver at an international tournament<br />
in Sheffield and hope next time to get gold. The aim is to keep training, working hard and listening to<br />
my coaches. I have learnt a lot and it helps me with my studies such as focusing, being determined to<br />
get good grades just like a gold medal. I am also very happy that Mr Rattu (Head of Year) and Mr Notley<br />
(Director of Sport) are interested and supportive of our journey.<br />
