Super Movers for Every Bodypublished at 15:39 British Summer Time
Super Movers for Every Body is a new and exciting initiative for primary school pupils and their teachers from BBC Teach, the Premier League and ParalympicsGB.
Physical activity plays an important role in the healthy development of children, and taking part in PE and sports benefits children’s physical, mental and social well-being.
Currently 1.5 million children in England have special educational needs or are disabled, but only one in four disabled children take part in physical activity at school. Super Movers for Every Body is designed to tackle this issue and get everybody moving.
We want all children to enjoy being active, and we want disabled pupils to feel more included in sport at school, and to encourage sporting allies. We want to harness the power of sport and the passion for the Paralympic Games to introduce more inclusive sports to teachers and schools.
With inspiring films and resources produced with the help of the Premier League, ParalympicsGB, Activity Alliance, BBC Sport, Boccia England, Channel 4 and theYouth Sport Trust, we hope every primary school pupil can join in and take part in inclusive activities in PE and sport, at school and at home.
Watch our film to find out from Paralympians Hannah Cockroft, Ellie Simmonds and David Smith why inclusive sport and Super Movers for Every Body is so important.
