We passionately believe in the power of PE, sport and physical activity to improve lives.
Providing a varied PE curriculum and giving your pupils the chance to try out different sports and activities can be a challenge due to time and resources.
Our SMILE Days are a great way to broaden children’s experiences of different sports and activities.
