  • The thing that we like about Panathlon the most, and our staff and parents always comment on, is that Panathlon levels the playing field. That’s the key for them to be able to perform equally against their peers.

    Jeremy Lonsdale, Greenacre’s PE Lead
  • “This is so wonderful because they are normally a group of children who don’t get to go out on activities like this, when they saw the Olympic Stadium on the way here their mouths were gaping open. It’s just such a special atmosphere. The Panathlon sports are perfectly pitched – they are just difficult enough while allowing them to score plenty of points. This is a brilliant and priceless opportunity because they wouldn’t necessarily get the opportunity to represent the school otherwise.”

    Chris Payne, Sellincourt Primary
  • “This is an experience that they don’t usually get at all. It’s great for them to be somewhere where they know Olympic and Paralympic athletes have competed and it gives them a huge sense of achievement.”

    Leanne Judd, SEN class teacher, Eastfield School
  • Panathlon gives young people a sense of pride, self-esteem and achievement. You can take that into all aspects of life.

    Elaine Burgess, school games organiser for Barking & Dagenham
  • “I’ve loved it times a trillion! Before it starts you’re nervous and excited and you want to win, but when you’re here you forget all that and just enjoy it. Being a team, you feel like you’re part of something and you feel that no matter whether you win or lose, you have someone to back you up.”

    Mollie, Goldbeaters School
