Herefordshire Virtual School Games
Due to the unprecedented nature of COVID-19, earlier this year we had to take the unfortunate decision of cancelling the Herefordshire Summer School Games events. However, we didn't want pupils to miss out!
The School Games is a unique opportunity to motivate and inspire millions of young people across the country to take part in more competitive school sport. To celebrate the Summer Games, Active Herefordshire & Worcestershire and Stride Active have teamed up once again to host a week-long festival of challenges. The activities will be aimed towards pupils both at school and at home.
Alongside a week-long dance challenge, we will be bringing you a new sporting challenge every day. All winners will be announced at the end of each day (around 5 pm). As usual, the efforts of every pupil will be recognised and participants will be awarded with an e-certificate.
We look forward to seeing you take part in the challenges. Stay safe and good luck!
