This project will involve 20 students undertaking a 2 week work placement in April 2016 at the prestigious La Manga Club Sports and Leisure complex in Murcia, Spain. This has been a long term project that has been running for almost ten years and we have successfully obtained funding from what was previously called the Leonardo Programme on a consistent basis. Students will be supervised by Lymm HS teaching staff with 3 teachers supervising the first week and 3 different teachers supervising the second week. Students involved in the project are aged 16-18 studying the BTEC National Diploma in Sports Coaching, Development and Fitness at Level 3. The programme also has Spanish language learning embedded within it in the form of an NVQ Level 2 qualification. A focus area within this course is the development of core coaching and teaching skills, effective delivery of developing such qualities forms the foundation for successful assessment. The project specifically targets those students who have the aptitude to realise their learning potential in an environment of current outstanding practice. The aim to develop and enhance these competencies will be met through the expertise of the professional coaches in a variety of sports at La Manga Club (LMC). Students will observe professionals and then experience quality mentoring and guidance when under-taking the role of the professional coach delivering in various sports academies. Mentors will provide continuous qualitative feedback for all participants. Lymm HS PE staff will have primary responsibility for the welfare of the students outside of working hours and will monitor recording of daily learning experiences and the impact they have. Students will utilise their newly acquired competencies in the host language as a practitioner in the sports sector. This experience provides us with a centre with the tools to develop motivation and methodology for language learning and to enhance the capacity for potential employment. Participants will follow dynamic learning programmes in sector specific learning environments, gaining work related experiences that will be reinforced through professional guidance and evaluative post learning features. It is hoped that the outcome will be an increased deployment on return of students delivering their skills. The project will include students who find some theoretical components challenging and will require at times emotional support and mentoring to ensure they overcome their vulnerability. The long term outcomes of the project are to ensure that our students develop life skills, as well as employment skills that will be a vital experience for our students. This is an area which in previous projects has seen significant value added for certain participants.
