PREMIERSHIP RUGBY BRINGS CLUBS INTO CLASSROOMS WITH INNOVATIVE APP FOR PRIMARY SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS

Premiership Rugby Champions harnesses the latest technology and sporting role models to inspire primary school pupils

 

Premiership Rugby is aiming to inspire the current generation of primary school pupils with the launch of its new Premiership Rugby Champions education app. Developed with support from both the CVC Foundation and BT Supporters Club, this app represents a significant advance in the Schools programme within Premiership Rugby’s ‘Plan To Improve A Million Lives’ with a target of engaging 10,000 teachers by the end of the 2019/20 season.

Premiership Rugby Champions is an interactive cross curriculum-based digital app, developed with expert learning technology company, Aspire 2Be, to inspire primary school children across multiple subjects whilst developing their digital literacy as well as important life skills.

It uses the inspiration and role models of Premiership Rugby Clubs to connect pupils’ learning to the world around them, via themed digital content and lesson materials. Initially aimed at primary schools, the app aims to improve the educational outcomes for young children, increasing their digital literacy, self-esteem and raising their aspirations.

Aspire 2Be Education Partner, Simon Pridham said, “We are extremely proud and honoured that the Premiership Rugby Champions Education Programme is today being launched in conjunction with all thirteen professional clubs. After working closely with Premiership Rugby, Saracens Sport Foundation and Herts Schools Partnership, as well as lots of schools and teachers, during the pilot phase, this application will undoubtedly help all Primary Schools across England promote key areas of the curriculum through a digital platform and engage pupils through the sport of rugby. As one of the UK’s leading Learning Technology Companies, we truly believe that Premiership Rugby should be applauded for taking such a proactive approach to digital learning and health and wellbeing, in education”

Developed by teachers for teachers, Premiership Rugby Champions will provide free interactive themed project-based lesson plans for use in the classroom and outside. With digital literacy at the heart of all content, the first resources will tackle health, with modules on tackling numeracy and character to follow as the Rugby World Cup progresses this autumn.

“Professional rugby has a huge opportunity to improve the lives and educational prospects of children and young people,” said Wayne Morris, Community & Corporate Social Responsibility Director at Premiership Rugby. “With rugby firmly in the spotlight this autumn, we have the opportunity to influence perceptions, attitudes and behaviours for life. Our players will become role models to so many young people, so the launch of the Premiership Rugby Champions app is incredibly timely. The Premiership Rugby Champions app uses the power of rugby to inspire young children to learn, be active and discover their own inner champion to help them achieve their potential.”

Pilot testing of the app was carried out among a group of teachers in Hertfordshire, in partnership with reigning Premiership Rugby Champions Saracens and the Hertfordshire Sports Partnership.

Initial feedback has been incredibly positive with teachers and pupils complimenting the ease of use of the platform and its effectiveness of meeting curriculum requirements.

“All of the sessions really engaged the students. As a teacher, it gives me everything I need and is packed with relevant curriculum links and resources.” Year 4 Teacher, High Wych Church of England Primary School

“We got how it worked straightaway, it was really simple and effective. I really enjoyed that we all had to work as a team together.” Year 5 Pupil, Bedwell Primary School

Ospreys in the Community

Ospreys in the Community became the first sporting organisation in the world to distribute iBeacon technology to schools.

The launch saw teachers receive their iBeacons and get their first training session on the Beacon App developed by Aspire 2Be.

Fourteen schools from across Ospreylia piloted the scheme, which will allowed Ospreys in the Community to use iBeacon technology to directly send out communications and promote key messages in a more interactive and personalised way.

The iBeacons are placed in the schools and upon entering beacon proximity, staff and pupils can view, read and interact with expansive content which is created by OitC and Aspire 2Be, and pushed directly to their mobile devices or smartphones.

Simon Pridham, Apsire 2Be Education and Performance Director, commented on the technology:

“The OitC app we believe is the world’s first of its kind. The beacon technology means we can send messages, rich curriculum content and offers directly into classrooms across Swansea, Neath Port Talbot and Bridgend. This is the first time a rugby region can talk and push content directly to schools and teachers rather than relying on them to go to a website or application to get it. This technology brings the Ospreys and its community schools closer together than ever before.”

Paul Whapham, Foundation Manager, Ospreys in the Community added:

“We’re delighted to see the technology that’s been developed take the next step and actually go out into schools today. It’s fantastic for Ospreys in the Community to again be at the forefront of a new and exciting development; particularly with this being what we believe to be a world’s first."

What Our Clients Say...

I have had the pleasure to work with Aspire 2Be on a range of opportunities and projects to benefit table tennis in Wales. I know I can just call or email and ask to meet up to chat through a range of options connected with sport, technology and business matters and get the honest answers needed to move ideas ahead. Aspire 2Be also deliver what they say they can and that's a huge benefit.
Ryan JenkinsTable Tennis Wales
The way in which the masterclasses were delivered and the ease with which the coaching applications were explained has really helped me in showing the players aspects of their play they can improve. I’d highly recommend using this digital learning course offered by Aspire 2Be and Sean Holley not just for cricket but for a range of sports.
