With three years to go before London hosts the 2012 Games, the theme for this year’s Special Schools PE and Sport Conference will be ‘Creating Our Legacy’.

Registration is now open for this year’s conference, which asks the question of what legacy will we collectively leave for SEN pupils and young disabled people by 2012.

The conference builds from the previous year’s theme of ‘inspiring dreams: creating opportunities’ and looks at how special schools and wider partners are not just creating new opportunities but ensuring clearer pathways to ensure SEN pupils and young disabled people can progress as a learner, participant, performer, leader, coach and official.

The conference has some new features including:

  • A National Governing Body (NGB) marketplace where schools can meet and discuss with sports on how they can work closer together. 
  • The opportunity to visit a range of businesses and national PE and sport organisations
  • A  network session -  based on pre-conference themes determined by delegates
  • Interactive sessions facilitated by schools for schools.

The conference will also include the launch a number of new national resources to support special schools to further extend and develop local opportunities.

 

Who is the conference for?

The conference is aimed at special school SSCo/PLT’s, PE teachers, and Directors of Specialism in Sports Colleges and SEN specialist schools. Those working with SEN pupils/young disabled people in mainstream schools, county and NGB disability officers, and others working within PE and sport including FESCo’s and competition managers will also find the conference useful.
