Over 3 million pupils across the UK made Sports Pledges to help them commit to achieving their goals during the week. Their Sports Pledges helped them gain support from their families in achieving their goals.
How Sports Pledges were used:
- Pupils were able to set as many Sports Pledges as they wanted.
- Sports Pledges were fulfilled in and out-of-school.
- Sports Pledges were made in the lead up to, and during, the week.
Examples of the kind of Sports Pledges that were made:
