At the events, 1,200 pupils of all abilities will experience a variety of Para sports and get the opportunity to compete. The Learning and Discovery days will focus on inspiring pupils with and without SEND to play and enjoy unified sport together; challenging attitudes and perceptions of disabilities. 

• My Personal Best: Character Education

  This innovation project builds upon the CPD certified My Personal Best resources and the 2019/20 pilot for Special Schools and will aim to increase the number, range and quality of opportunities for all young people within Alternative Provision to participate and progress in PE, School Sport and the School Games. The project will also look at increasing the skills and confidence of the school sport workforce to provide high quality provision.

• Swimming Review

  This innovation project will continue to focus on increasing the provision and quality of opportunities for young people with SEND to participate and progress in swimming and water safety.
