School Sports Day Clarification
Information regarding Sports Days/ School Games Day
It is that time of year where we all start to think about Sports Days / School Games Days, and this year I think our children are looking forward to it more than ever! Below is some information if you are planning on running a Sports Day but have reservations/worries over the finer details.
The Department for Education has provided some clarification in relation to sports days.
Schools have the flexibility to decide how physical education, sport and physical activity will be provided while following the measures in their system of controls.
School sports days and competitions can now take place both indoors and outdoors and schools should follow the measures in their systems of controls. Parents and pupils are permitted to attend these events as spectators however close attention should be placed to legal gathering limits set out for the different settings in which these events are taking place, see guidance for safe provision including team sport, contact combat sport and organised sport events.
Enjoy your Sports Day everyone!
West Dorset SGO Area
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.
