The Kent Schools Big Events Programme
In the final build-up to the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, find out what Kent Schools are doing to engage with it through the Big Events Programme.
PRIDE
20in12 aims to provide a direct link for all schools and settings with the National 2012 Educational Programme ‘GET SET’ to ensure as many Kent schools and settings become accredited members of the ‘GET SET NETWORK’, which will result in them receiving many enhanced benefits for their students in the build up to the London Games in the summer of 2012.
The “GET SET” programme is based on learning activities linked directly with the 7 Olympic and Paralympic values. In Kent, we have placed the 7 values into the following order to show PRIDE.
