From 29 June to 3 July 2009, Lloyds TSB National School Sport Week will take place across the country, helping to motivate pupils and fulfil objectives for PE and school sport using the inspiration of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and Values.
The aim is simple: To help excite and motivate pupils to do more sport by celebrating and profiling all that's been achieved in PE within schools, and launching new sport based initiatives.
To achieve this, the Youth Sport Trust and Lloyds TSB are providing teachers with free resources; including teacher packs, great prizes, and visits from British Olympians and Paralympians to help inspire pupils in sport and physical activity. Register for Lloyds TSB National School Sport Week at www.schoolsportweek.org and receive your free resources:
- Teacher Planning Pack: materials, DVD, and ideas
- Pupil pledge cards: to help your pupils participate
- Badges and certificates: prizes for everyone
- Banners & local PR support: promoting your school in your community
- YST Ambassador Support: helping shape your activity
Pupils across the UK will be making a Sports Pledge which will help them commit to achieving their goals during the week, gain support from their families, and help teachers support pupils on their journeys. The week will inspire pupils to participate, perform and lead in sport and physical activity. It also offers the opportunity for teachers to embed the Olympic and Paralympic Values in whatever activities they do.
Lloyds TSB National School Sport Week is integral to the delivery of the Government's PE and Sport Strategy for Young People and contributing towards the target of offering young people five hours of high quality PE and sport a week by 2012.
