What is it!
To Launch the SPAR Lancashire School Games a baton relay will commence on the 28th February and travel through every district in Lancashire, before reaching Blackpool, week commencing the 27th June. The relay will end at the SPAR Lancashire School Games on the 5th July at Stanley Park.
Each district will receive the baton for a minimum of 1 week and it will travel from School to school, allowing schools to handover the baton to other local schools. Lancaster's week is 6th June (recieving it from a Fylde school) and passing it to the Heysham Schools from 13th June who will in turn pass it on to Wyre.
As part of the handover we encourage schools to be active and complete the journey where possible by being active. It also a great chance for you to share ‘your’ school values with the schools you are handing the baton to and provide a memento, if you’d like! Although we’ll leave you to decide what to do. Be Creative! Could you add something special to your school's leg? A party as it arrives, a musical or artstic performance, a sports event, a local celebrity parent, a different method of travel, you can choose... there will be lots of publicity, please show off your school and our area!
How to get involved?
The School Games organisers (Steven- Lancaster & Tim- Heysham) will be involved in organising the route around any of those schools who express an interest by 22nd April.
