SPAR Lancashire School Games 21/22

The SPAR Lancashire School Games returns in 21/22 with some new activities and priorities for what we want the games to achieve.

The priorities include delivering events, festivals and competitions based on the priorities below:

• KS3 & 4 Girls – Our new This Girl Can regional festivals will
  provide opportunities for girls to be active through physical and
  mindfulness activities.
• Transition – A focus on those in Year 6 – 8. The opportunities
  provided will aim to provide fun experiences, and develop skills
  to help young people get ready for Secondary school.
• SEND – We are acknowledging the challenges young people with
  SEND have faced during the past 18 months. We are offering
  more opportunities throughout the year at our festivals for young
  people at Special Schools or in mainstream schools.
• Year 3 & 4 – Develop skills, learn new games and provide
  opportunities for children to work as a team and achieve
  personal bests.
