Sports day should be accessible for all pupils. This includes those with physical difficulties. Schools can achieve this by: 

  • offering a variety of activities 
  • including competitive and non competitive options 
  • providing a mix of team and individual activities 
  • modifying rules and scoring systems 
  • creating alternative versions of activities 
  • including disability friendly sports like boccia and new age kurling 
  • providing adult help 

Schools can also: 

  • encourage teamwork by pairing pupils with disabilities with non disabled peers 
  • emphasise participation and effort over winning 
  • celebrate all contributions
