Pass it On

Pass it On is the Playing for Success (PfS) 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games national legacy programme. In the run up to the Games, Pass it On aims to engage all PfS centres in activities around the Games through resource exchange across regions. The London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) awarded Pass it On the ‘Inspire Mark’, in May 2009, for three years. This was the first Department for Education initiative to be recognised in this way.

Leading up to the Games, Pass it On will run three national competitions. The first year followed the focus areas of literacy with a poem about the Olympic and Paralympic values. We are now in the second year and will be running a numeracy competition in February 2011. Finally in the third year the competition focus will be ICT. Pass it On is also running a ‘Values Relay’. Throughout the regions a relay of resources is taking place with each resource or ‘baton’ representing an Olympics and Paralympics Value together with Olympics and Paralympics Heroes’ themes; these provide a resource for the competitions and other work that are developing as an online sharing network of ideas and good practice. Centres are able to upload their work based on the Values Relay to the Get Set website to gain the individual centre and student LOCOG recognitions. Over the three years in the run up to the 2012 Games there are nine Values for nine regions over nine terms. For more info please visit to the Pass it On website: www.passitonpfs.org.uk
