Essex Educational Legacy
Essex aims to use the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games as a catalyst for inspiring learning and development opportunities in all settings. We are keen to instil in schools the Olympic and Paralympic values of dedication and achievement and see this as one of the best ways to secure a sustainable legacy from the London 2012 Games.
These pages give some context behind the projects happening in schools and learning environments all over Essex and details of who to contact for more information.
Essex Carrying the Flame
Essex Carrying the Flame is an Education framework set up by Essex County Council to use the inspiration of London 2012 to encourage learning in all areas of the National Curriculum. The resources available provide schools with examples of practical blocks of work, lesson plans projects, activities and games. The Carrying the Flame framework supports the current Essex Physical Education and School Sport programmes and initiatives, as well as highlighting cross-curricular ideas that can be used to support a 2012 Games-related festival or sporting event. Visit schools pages to see examples of Essex Carrying the Flame projects.
