Get Set 2012

Wright Robinson is a member of the Get Set Network and is one of 125 schools

who have been awarded a grant, selected from over 600 schools who applied. 

LOCOG Chair, Sebastian Coe said: ‘We are delighted to be working even more closely with Department of Education, and ‘Plan your 2012’ programme of grants will mean that more schools and more young people can be inspired by and benefit from local leadership and best practice in their area. ‘Participating in 'Plan your 2012’ gives engaged schools a fantastic opportunity to take the lead in supporting other schools and their local community, ena-bling them to make the most of London 2012.’

 Children’s Minister, Tim Loughton said: ‘Sport can bring out the best in every-one and the London 2012 Games is a great opportunity for us to inspire a generation of young people. Through funding for ‘Get Set’ we are helping schools spread the Olympic and Paralympic values across their local commu-nities, as well as providing more opportunities for competitive sport. ‘It’s really encouraging to see so many schools keen to take part - from a pri-mary setting up a local league for Olympic Sports to a secondary school ar-ranging a Cultural Olympiad. With ‘Get Set’ and ‘Plan your 2012’ we are giving schools the chance to create their own legacy that will last far beyond 2012.’

Wright Robinson has also secured an allocation of tickets to the Games at no cost through the London 2012 Ticket Share initiative, as well as other exclusive rewards and opportunities.
