 The trial of the Winning Game will commence at Knox Academy after the Easter break. On Monday I met with the Head of PE, Kenny MacDonald. We will be taking quite an organic approach to the trial. Here is a summary of our plan:

• The trail will involve 67 third year pupils.
• These pupils will use the game in conjunction with the work that they are doing in their Standard Grade PE course. There will be no interruption to the existing curriculum.
• Pupils will be given a brief introduction of the game and it’s relevance to teaching and learning.
• It is proposed that there will be three assessments undertaken by the pupils over the duration of the trial.
• The feedback received from the first assessment will be used as a basis to determine progress.
• Theory tests will be run in conjunction with these assessments in order to look at other impacts.
