Chamber Patrons, University of Worcester, are planning to organise a ‘Learning through Sport week’ in the summer. They recognise that schoolchildren across our county have experienced real challenges during the covid pandemic.
The current year 6 pupils at primary schools now have to prepare for the huge transition to secondary school in September at a severe disadvantage and many may be feeling very anxious.
The aim is to bring Maths and English lessons to life through sporting activities that will not only help youngsters to catch up on some of their learning, but also to develop their confidence and social skills that may have been affected during the past year.
The University are hosting the event, but are also looking for funding to support activities. It’s anticipated that local and national media will follow the activities and that public acknowledgement will be given to those who offer support
