Main target was to increase student’s awareness of London 2012, opportunities to become involved, but more importantly the values the games behold It was cross-curricular, inclusive and student driven Ran by the PE team and ‘Sporty’ students’, but to involve every student and teacher alike Assemblies ran by Ex- Olympians and current Paralympians A whole range of resources created by individual subjects, linking with one or more of the Olympic values Wilmslow Olympic Day
