Welcome to West Dorset School Games page. My name is Victoria Jones and I am very excited to take over the role as the West Dorset School Games Organiser. I am based at Budmouth Academy, Weymouth and cover all schools across Dorchester, Weymouth & Portland, Bridport, Beaminster and Lyme Regis. My sole purpose is to promote sport and exercise to children and young adults, through fun and inclusive practices, activities, festivals and events. I am extremely passionate about the values we promote. I strongly believe that the SGO network can provide a more inclusive variety of opportunties, whilst supplying pupils with pathways to progress outside of school. I am looking forward to supporting the development of pupils all-round sporting skillset, knowledge, confidence and enjoyment in physical activity. Helping to motivate and improve resilience, teamwork, friendships, mental health, community spirit and all round fitness.

  

As we welcome students back in to school and enter the recovery period, we are keen to help everyone on their journey back to a more physically active lifestyle, to help promote both physical and mental well being within our communities. School Games Organisers are supporting the national effort to ensure children and their families have access to fun ways of staying active. 

Children and young people should be aiming for 60 minutes of physical activity each day. This can be anything from a brisk walk to a 60 minute dance class. There are lots of options available for you to try! Ask your teachers what activities are available at school for you to try.

You can also get your families involved at home, and there are lots of resources, fun games and challenges available on here to help increase those active minutes as a whole family.
