Bright Spot• Senior Management appointed position of Olympic

Co-ordinator

• Started in 2010 – to maximise the impact the London 2012 games could have on our students

• During NSSW 2010 we had one whole day dedicated to learning about the Olympic & Paralympic values within all subjects

• Bigger and better in 2011

• The event was ran by a group of year 9 students – Lead by and for the students

• Main target was to increase student’s awareness of London 2012, opportunities to become involved, but more importantly the values the games behold

• It was cross-curricular, inclusive and student driven

• Ran by the PE team and ‘Sporty’ students’, but to involve every student and teacher alike

• Assemblies ran by Ex- Olympians and current Paralympians

• A whole range of resources created by individual subjects, linking with one or more of the Olympic values

Lasting Legacy• This year it’s ‘Wilmslow Olympic Week’

• The whole week will be linked to the Olympic values and how students can base their lives around these values

• Create a lasting legacy of what the Olympics represent past 2012

School Games & Partnership
