Background & Context Sport England commissioned Fit For Sport, the UK’s experts at engaging and educating children through activity, with £180,000 of National Lottery investment to explore how schools in two contrasting areas - Manchester (urban) and Somerset/Bath (rural) - could encourage more young people to be physically active and get involved in the Sainsbury’s School Games. The pilot project ran for 6 months (April 2013 October 2013) and fundamental aims of the programme were to: • •
help increase children’s participation in physical activity increase children’s engagement in level 1 (intra) and level 2 (inter) competition
To achieve this, Fit For Sport provided training, support and mentoring for teachers and support staff, to provide pupils with better physical activity and competition opportunities. The project went through a process of initial contact, to independent evaluation of impact in a series of planned and often overlapping stages. The project was based on Fit For Sport’s 20 year belief and philosophy of engaging all children on a journey to sport.
Programme aimed to give children access to positive and frequent physical a ctivity and school sport sessio ns, whilst developing their co nfidence and skills to encourage them to take part in competition and represent their school at the Sainsbury’s School Games
