How the 4-week programme works

The programme kicks of from 27 April – 22 May 2026

When you sign up, you’ll get our Sports Day Planning Guide to use as your “bible” — everything you need to organise a brilliant, inclusive Sports Day.

Alongside that, you’ll get a simple KS1 programme and KS2 programme to help children practise the key athletics skills in the run-up to Sports Day. Each lesson is written to work in two ways:

  1. as a 40-minute PE lesson, or
  2. broken into 10-minute bursts for lunchtime or quick practice slots.

Warm-ups are included too, using short Active Blasts, so children are ready to move and teachers can keep things safe, calm and fun.
