School Games Paralympic Festival

The Festival will included a variety of Paralympic sports and challenges, which will include competitive and non-competitive elements

There will be 2 County Final showcase events with school teams identified through work with their local SSPAN:

• Boccia - Key Stage 2 Pan Disability, Key Stage 3 and 4/5 MLD and Key Stage 3-5 SLD
• New Age Kurling - Key Stage 2 Pan Disability

There will also be a non-competitive carousel of different Paralympic sports for young people to try.

The Leicester-Shire & Rutland School Games is part of the national 'School Games Programme'. It aims to keep participation in sport and physical activity at the heart of school life and provide more young people with the opportunity to participate, compete and achieve their personal best.

It is open to all young people aged 6-18 years, of all abilities and backgrounds from every school across Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland - therefore make sure your School gets involved!

Delivered locally by us here at Active Together and the School Sport & Physical Activity Networks (SSPANs), the Leicester-Shire & Rutland School Games provides schools with the opportunity to enhance their existing work in school sport and create a year-round calendar of competition for all students.

Make sure your School has the chance to be involved by contacting your School Sport & Physical Activity Networks (SSPANs).
