The BT PWC Classroom Resources

All the resources available on our website are designed to bring this exciting event into your school whilst also fitting in with current curriculum guidelines and within teaching and inclusion best practice. They include teaching tools and activities to introduce the BT Paralympic World Cup into the classroom, school assembly or sports field, and aim to stimulate learning and interest around Paralympic Sport. The focus is to deliver a better understanding of ability, not disability, in relation to Sport. The resources are compiled as a journey using activities and opportunities which will be released through this website in the run up to, and at the BT Paralympic World Cup.
