We inspire children of all ages to challenge their assumptions, to persevere, to give sports and activities they have never tried before a real go, and not to give up if they ‘fail’ first time – to understand they can’t do it….YET!

We usually start from the suggestion we will run a series of games in a carousel for a year group (2 classes maximum) depending on space and budget, for about an hour each.  Four year groups – usually Yrs 3, 4, 5 and 6 – can be accommodated in a day, following a whole school assembly with John Willis.

We take a group – usually 20-30 of Y 8s, 9s, or 10s – into a special needs school, to play inclusive sports with the disabled students.

We like a ratio of about 2:1 to support the special needs students and we flex the morning (usually 9:30-12:00) to suit the schools’ needs.

The feedback has been remarkable!

We teach older students (whether in Y6, Y8, Y9 or above) how to lead one of our PowerHouseGames. They then do just that with younger pupils, either from the same or a different school.

They learn how to teach, develop their leadership skills and build their confidence.

Built on the success of our University PowerHouseGames, this model encourages a school – it can be any type, so long as they have suitably sized facilities – to host a PowerHouseGames with other schools. These can include a related junior or prep school, but must include a special needs school to get the most out of the day. Ten or twelve teams of six, including an adult (parent or teacher) works well, but these PowerHouseGames can easily be flexed to fit the needs of the schools involved. Usually five or six sports/activities are played in a carousel.
