Whether you\u2019re a primary school or secondary school, school sport has a vital part to play in the pathway for an athlete. It is at this stage that young people first learn about the spirit of sport and how to understand and apply the values within sport.<\/p>\n
We work with education partners to develop education programmes for schools that take a young person on a clean sport education journey from the age of 7-16.<\/p>\n
Our schools education programmes focus on the spirit of sport, and how young people can apply the values of sport in play, games, sport and competition – plus how they can develop healthy habits for life.<\/p>\n
We also work with Awarding Bodies to ensure that students studying sport-related courses have access to current and up-to-date clean sport and anti-doping information.<\/p>\n
We have a number of education programmes for schools to download and use.<\/p>\n
