#PledgetoPlay for National School Sports Week
National School Sports Week returns with children being encouraged to be as active as possible.
The week-long celebration will run from 19-25 June. Families, schools and organisations are being asked to take the #PledgeToPlay today.
The Youth Sport Trust campaign has been designed to ensure that children are encouraged to be as active both at school and at home.
As the national charity for disabled people in sport and activity, Activity Alliance knows how important positive PE experiences are for disabled children and young people. Our research shows that a positive experience in PE and school sport is essential to shape every child’s life-long participation. It can affect how we feel about being active for the rest of our lives.
Activity Alliance has lots of resources that teachers can access during National School Sport Week and beyond. These resources support teachers and school staff to improve their PE delivery and engage all disabled children in positive, inclusive experiences at school.
Inclusion 2024 inclusive education hub
In partnership with Youth Sport Trust and the Department for Education, our Inclusion 2024 inclusive education hub is the ‘go-to’ place for all essential inclusive PE resources and knowledge. Created in collaboration with schools, expert practitioners, local, and national partners, it allows teachers and school staff to privately self-assess their inclusion of disabled students in PE and school sport. Practitioners receive a free personalised report with advice and useful resources to improve their practice.

Activity Alliance’s Profiling Toolkit
Our Profiling Toolkit provides clear and simple guidance on how to identify and group disabled people fairly for sports and activities. It is designed for use at a participation or development level, and helps individuals improve their skills through positive competitive experiences. The toolkit introduces teachers, coaches and physiotherapists to different methods of identifying and grouping disabled people for sports and activities. This includes people with intellectual, physical, and sensory impairments.

Inclusive PE activity cards
Jam-packed with fun games and activities, our inclusive PE activity cards support teachers to ensure their PE sessions are inclusive and accessible for all school pupils. Created with the PE curriculum in mind, the games and activities are designed to support pupils to be physically active and to lead healthy, active lives. They encourage pupils to use their physical health and fitness, social, creative, cognitive, and personal abilities. The cards are suitable for all age groups and school development stages.
