Shropshire Homes sponsorship for Olympic
style school festivals continues!
Energize, the County Sport Partnership for Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin are delighted to
announce that Shropshire Homes will be continuing their sponsorship of the County School
Games for 2015/16. This event is known as the ‘Shropshire Homes School Sport Festival,
and forms part of the prestigious Sainsbury’s School Games’.
The Sainsbury's School Games is a unique opportunity to motivate and inspire millions of
young people across the country to take part in more competitive school sport.
The Games are made up of three levels of activity: competition in schools (level 1), between
schools (level 2), and at a county/area level (level 3) which ensures that the maximum
possible number of students are actively involved in competitive sport. The School Games
are funded by Sport England through Lottery Funding with the additional funding provided by
Shropshire Homes. This helps enormously to develop and improve this large multi-sport
event and enhance the experience of for all competitors.
Howard Thorne, Shropshire Homes Managing Director said that “We are extremely pleased
to continue supporting the County School Games Festivals. The School Games are a
fantastic way to encourage children and young people to participate and compete in sport
and Shropshire Homes are thrilled to be part of it”
Dave Hill, Chair of the Local Organising Committee and The Burton Borough School Head
Teacher commented: “Competitive sport is a vital part of school life in all our schools. These
School Games provide a fantastic structure, that motivates our students to qualify for the
school team and then to represent Telford and Wrekin. It helps them develop their sporting
skills, and perhaps even more importantly their personal respect for their competitors. Long
may they continue.”
Chris Child, Energize Chief Executive commented “The Shropshire Homes School Sport
Festivals are one of the year’s big highlights for us. It is fantastic to see children testing their
new found skills at a County level and many of them finding that something that makes their
heart beat faster. There’s always some fantastic competition but it’s also always undertaken
with lots of smiles on faces.’
The next ‘Shropshire Homes School Sport Festival, as part of Sainsbury’s School Games’
will take place on Tuesday 3rd and Wednesday 4th March, being hosted at the Shrewsbury
Sports Village with events also taking place at The Shrewsbury Club and Sundorne Games
Hall. There will be over 1600 students competing in 23 events over the 2 days.

Everybody Active Everyday Public Health England’s Everybody Active Everyday report
includes specific guidance for schools based on the strongest
evidence of effectiveness. We have picked out some of the
guidance below.
Starting well
A child active from an early age establishes good habits for life,
and being active should begin in babyhood. Research
suggests that campaigns to improve children’s health should
be directed to whole families and for under-fives the focus is on
active play rather than formal activity.
The school setting is extremely important when it comes to
children’s opportunities to be active. Evidence exists to support
the ‘whole school approach’, including physical education,
classroom activities, afterschool sports, and promoting active
travel to and from school.
Specific interventions in school supported by the evidence
include: capacity building and staff training; increasing the
number or quality of physical education classes; adjustment of
interventions to target specific populations; increased activity at
break times; changes in curriculum, equipment and materials
provision. Additionally, walk to school programmes and cycling
promotions can encourage increases in active travel to and
from school.
