Living the Olympic and Paralympic Values!
Longdon Hall School is a Get Set network school of the month!
15 Dec 2011
Longdon Hall School is committed to using the Olympic and Paralympic Values to strengthen their school ethos of “Supporting pupils in reaching expectations”.
Longdon Hall focused on the Value of respect during National Anti-Bullying week and showed real determination when students tried golf for the first time. The special school has used Lego to create their own “Legolympics”, producing a video in IT of an opening ceremony, races, a medal presentation and a lap of honour.
Recently, students and staff worked with the Samaritans to send shoe boxes full of Christmas presents to a developing country. The country that receives the shoe boxes will be their Olympic and Paralympic country of focus.
Longdon Hall is also part of EDF’s sustainability project The Pod and recently participated in Switch Off Fortnight, a campaign to encourage whole school learning on energy saving, both in school and at home.
The school was selected as a Get Set network school of the month on the basis of an outstanding blog post describing the activities that the students have been involved in. The school will receive a letter of congratulations from Seb Coe, Chair of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and they will receive a surprise visit from a London 2012 guest!
If you would like to be in with the chance to be selected as the ‘Get Set Network school or college of the month’ and are not already a member of the Get Set Network, then apply today and start blogging!
