Powering education through play: Great Athletes and Teach Active unite for an inspiring athlete day, raising funds to leave an active legacy and boost academic success!
- What will you get?A top GB athlete will visit your school and work with each class to complete a fun fitness challenge. The athlete will then deliver an inspiring assembly to the whole school with a talk, demo and Q&A.
- How much will it cost?There is no financial cost to your school. The children will be asked to collect sponsorship money for their efforts completing the fitness circuit. From the grand total of the money raised, a small participation fee is deducted to cover the base cost of running the scheme. The rest of the money is split 60/40. 60% goes to your school to spend on a subscription to the multi award winning Teach Active, complete with free whole school staff training. 40% goes to Great Athletes to help fund the athletes and the scheme.
- What is Teach Active?Teach Active is an online resource which provides schools and teachers with 3500 plans and resources designed to deliver the primary Maths and English curriculum through physical activity.

“I love the fact children are proactively channelling their natural competitiveness into Maths challenges. They are often learning so many Maths concepts without realising they’re doing Maths. It’s fabulous to see so many smiling faces and increase in achievement in the subject.”
Steve Tindall, Headteacher – Holy Family Catholic Primary School
