Monitoring and Evaluating In order to monitor the effectiveness of the programme we will use the following: - Skill tests - Player surveys and focus groups - Parent and Carer evenings - Report cards which reflect progress - Late-coming, merits -Attendance figures (both at the class and school) The results are monitored regularly to provide support to the pupils development from both a playing, academic and social point of view.
How will we measure success? By creating a two year programme that pupil s find exciting and enjoyable, but physically and mentally demanding. Developing pupils who are engaged and passionate about football and their education. Pupils who develop have a high skill level across 3 key areas (Head, Heart & Hands) Pupils who not only behave appropriately during coaching, meetings and across the wider school, but take on leadership roles and become role models for others. Showcase players for the St Mirren Academy programme
