The school sport challenge was amazing for our children, the events organised were simple enough for the youngest children but challenging enough for the older children. This was down to the expertise of the young leaders, they were fantastic and will make brilliant coaches and teachers in coming years! Tom Shaw St Helena s C of E Primary, Willoughby All the children (and staff) thoroughly enjoyed it and had a great time. It was fantastic for them to experience different sports which many had not encountered before. Hayley Sparrow Y1 Class Teacher and PE Co-ordinator Market Deeping Community Primary School The Lincoln College students were fantastic with the children as they spoke to them clearly and precise and encouraged them throughout the whole of the activities. What an amazing programme that really gives children the motivation and inspiration to participate more in sports. Nathan Shortland, PE Coordinator, Spalding Primary School The School Sport Challenge is a great way for Primary schools to utilise some of their Primary School Sports Premium funding by encouraging the whole school to get involved and try new activities whilst also learning about the School Games competition.
