FOR ALL, TARGETED, COMPETITIVE

All of our events will follow our new event themes; For All, Targeted & Competitive. These themes have been designed to ensure we provide events to benefit all young people.

FOR ALL– These events are for everyone and are delivered in school. They focus on providing 60 active mins for every child whilst supporting their physical, social and emotional wellbeing.

TARGETED– These events target specific groups of young people who would benefit the most from having positive experiences of sport, physical activity and competition. The activities and outcomes are designed to reflect the young people’s needs and motivations.

COMPETITIVE– These events are for pupils who are ready and prepared for competition and enjoy performing and competing against others. They provide the opportunity for competition in a positive and friendly environment where the focus is on enjoyment and supporting the wider development of young people as much as the outcome of the event itself.

This is a COMPETITIVE event for children in Year 4/5/6 who are ready for competition.  The aim of this event is to support individual development in sport.

This event is open to all Small Schools* in the Partnership.*The definition of a small school, based on School Games criteria is any school that has fewer than 120 students in KS2 and no more than 30 pupils in Year 6.

Quadkids is an exciting and easy to organise athletics concept designed to give more children the opportunity to participate in and enjoy athletics. It covers the core disciplines of running, throwing and jumping in a team format.

Teams are made up of 5 boys and 5 girls, with each athlete competing in all events. Individual performances are scored using a points table and the winners are the team with the highest cumulative points score.  All athletes take part in a 75m sprint, vortex howler throw, standing long jump and 600m run.

Download a manual to find out more about Quadkids and the rules of each event. Please refer to pages 14-17.
