Event Navigation
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 FOR ALL event open to all children but with the focus being to increase motivation and promote enjoyment for those least active children within your school.
Who for? – Open to all children, separate competitions for Key Stages 1 and 2.
When – Spring Term. Video entries to be submitted by 28th March 2025
Theme – Dancing through the Ages –This year’s theme aims to appeal to all ages and link to your dance curriculum or a topic you are studying in school. You could choose to focus on historical periods or events through the ages i.e Egyptians, Greeks, Victorians or World Wars or significant people/events (landing on the moon) OR music of the decades i.e. Charleston, lindy hop, jive, hip hop, disco, folk dancing.
