Our award-winning Healthy Dragons Primary School Provision is being delivered in schools right across our region, helping children become healthier, more active and more confident.
We know that school budgets are incredibly tight and that finding funding for additional programmes isn't always easy. But weโre seeing some schools and their communities thinking outside the box to make it happen.
๐ฅ Cross Ash Primary School is a fantastic example.
The school loved the Healthy Dragons sessions and could see first-hand the benefits they were having on their pupils. Unfortunately, the school simply didn't have the budget available to continue the provision.
Rather than letting that be the end of it, their PTA stepped in and decided to fundraise to help cover the cost of weekly Healthy Dragons sessions because they believed so strongly in the difference the programme was making to their children.
That is exactly what community is about. ๐
Being a Healthy Dragons School offers much more than just our practical sessions. Schools also receive:
๐ A dedicated Dragons Community Officer delivering curriculum-linked Healthy Dragons sessions
๐๏ธ Entry into our annual Healthy Dragons Tag Tournament, with the final at Rodney Parade, plus two additional festivals sponsored by KLA
๐ Opportunities for pupils to meet Dragons players
๐๏ธ Two Dragons home fixtures as our community guests, with 35 complimentary tickets per fixture (30 pupils + 5 staff) and discounted parent tickets
๐ Family match tickets to support school rewards, positive behaviour, parenting programmes and staff wellbeing
๐ท Opportunities to access additional tickets for PTA fundraising and raffles
๐ฃ Positive publicity for the school through Dragons Community social media and website channels
๐ฌ 4 STEM workshops
Healthy Dragons is about creating opportunities that extend far beyond the classroom , combining physical activity, health, education, experiences and rewards to make a lasting difference.
A massive thank you to Cross Ash Primary School and their PTA for recognising the value of the programme and finding a way to make it possible. โค๏ธ
If your school would love to become a Healthy Dragons School, but budgets are proving difficult, we'd still love to hear from you. There may be different ways we can explore together to help bring Healthy Dragons to your pupils.
