HENSALL Primary School is celebrating after receiving recognition for embracing the Olympic and Paralympic values ahead of the 2012 Olympic Games in London this summer.
Pupils have been awarded with a place on the London 2012 Get Set network.
The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games presented the school with a plaque and certificate to acknowledge their involvement in the London 2012 education programme, which is being promoted around the country.
Students and staff now join schools and colleges across the UK as members of a special London 2012 community – the Get Set network – and will receive access to exclusive competitions and 2012 Games-related opportunities during the coming months.
Headteacher Heather Conroy said: “We’re proud to be part of the Get Set network, and during the coming months, we will be working on the Olympic and Paralympic values and taking part in a National Sports Day on June 25.
“The children are very excited that this event is taking place in their country.”
The education logo was designed by 18-year-old Reiss Evans, a design student from Canterbury College, who won a national competition to create an education-themed infill for the London 2012 Olympic logo.
