Three schools win a tour of the Olympic Park!
International Inspiration schools competition winners visit Olympic Park
10 Oct 2010
Three schools from across the UK have won the exclusive opportunity to visit the London 2012 Olympic Park after submitting photographs demonstrating their involvement in International Inspiration, London 2012’s international legacy programme.
The winning schools, Vandyke Upper School in Leighton Buzzard, Burleigh Community College in Loughborough and Sir Frederic Osborn School in Welwyn Garden City sent in the best examples of how schools are bringing International Inspiration to life and included photos of school exchange visits, participating in sport and play, welcoming delegations from partner countries and project specific work.
Whilst on the visit, pupils got the opportunity to see first-hand the work that is progressing on London’s Olympic Park, where the Olympic and Paralympic Games will be hosted in 2012. As part of the Park tour they saw the major venues being constructed by the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) including the Olympic Stadium, Aquatics Centre, Velodrome and Handball Arena, and learn about the environmental and community programmes running on the Olympic Park.
