Education & Skills

Young people were at the heart of London’s bid to host the 2012 Games, and lots of activities involving young people are taking place as we build-up to the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Much of the focus is through the official London 2012 education programme Get Set. Young people are at the centre of the programme, and over 200 West Sussex schools have registered and are taking part. Schools are encouraged to apply to join the Get Set Network, which offers extra benefits and incentives - 65% of schools in West Sussex are registered and  54 schools and colleges have joined the network.

Other education and skills activities include Personal Best, the London 2012 pre-employment programme that took place at Worthing Football Club's Study Support Centre in Lancing, and Lloyds TSB National School Sport Week, which takes place on 27 June to 1 July 2011.
