ESS Leaderboard

The Elms Sport In Schools coach up to 7000 children per week in extra curricular clubs, all of whom are eligible for the ESS Leaderboard.

The Leaderboard is a form of assessment which allows you, the parent/guardian, to track your child’s progress throughout the term.

How Does the Scheme Work?

01

Once registered, a child will be placed in the relevant discipline based on their chosen sport. There are 3 Leaderboards - football, tennis and multisports.

If a child is registered for various clubs they will be added to more than 1 of the Leaderboards. At the end of each session the coach will award a score to each child out of 10.

Scores are based on 5 key factors – attitude, performance, teamwork, work ethic and improvement.

The score received is then added to the Leaderboard with at least one pupil awarded the ‘Player of the Week’ certificate scoring 10.

For the first 9 weeks of each course, every child’s weekly score will be added to a running total. Then, from week 10 onwards, only the BEST 9 SCORES will remain on the Leaderboard. This means if a child is absent, or a school offers more weeks, everyone has a fair chance of reaching the summit.

Prizes

For Children

From September 2023, the top 5 children from each leaderboard will all receive the following:

  • 1 x Free Term’s Sports Course
  • 1 x Free Day at one of The Elms’ School Holiday Activity Camps
  • 1 x Personalised Rucksack with child’s initials
  • 1 x Framed Certificate stating their finishing position

For Schools

The top 3 schools from each leaderboard, represented by the most children, will be rewarded with:

  • A Framed Certificate of Achievement

Good luck everybody with the spring 2024 Leaderboard.

“Just to say a huge thank you to The Elms Coaches for helping at our Summer Fair on Saturday. They worked tirelessly and we had great feedback from parents and other members of the community on how well they organised, included and enthused the very many children of all ages and abilities. With much appreciation! “
