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
