ver the last few months, Sport
England’s This Girl Can campaign
went viral.
It dominated TV screens and billboard sites
across England. Its images of real women
and girls jiggling, wiggling and having fun,
generated headlines across the world.
Now we want you to help us bring the
attitude and sass behind This Girl Can into
YOUR school. We want your girls to feel that
they can, too.
We urge you to register your school on the
‘This Girl Can’ website in order to access
free resources that will enable you to
support the campaign.
Once you have registered, you can not
only access the Resource Pack but other
materials, including:
• Downloadable copies of the posters that
feature in the campaign
• Downloadable images that support the
campaign
• This Girl Can & partner logo’s
• Insight pack detailing the research behind
the campaign
It only takes a minute, so please support us
by registering and help build awareness of
this important campaign.
Every local authority secondary school in
England has been posted four free A1 sized
posters for display around your school to
highlight the This Girl Can campaign and its
important images/messages.
These posters were delivered to schools
before the Easter break and were
addressed to the ‘Teacher in charge of
PSHE’. So please seek these out and help us
to raise the profile of the campaign.
Please display these posters in areas within
your school that will achieve maximum
impact.

to enable delivery of fun, active and
inclusive educational activity for your
pupils, enabling you to confidently deliver
the Xplorer Schools activities and sessions.
Everything you need is enclosed including
instructions and templates to deliver 8

The resource cards provided in this
pack are designed to enable a basic
understanding of orienteering whilst
developing the essential physical, thinking
and social skills through a fun, inclusive
and exciting approach to teaching and
learning – each resource card highlights the
key skills the children will learn.
Xplorer Schools complements the national
curriculum and provides many crosscurricular and themed opportunities.
The resource can be used as standalone
activities or linked active learning
opportunities within the curriculum, as a
lunchtime activity or an after school club.
Xplorer Schools is a fantastic way to get
children learning outside the classroom –
but all activities can be adapted for the
outdoor or indoor environment.
It will give your pupils the skills needed to
progress to an Xplorer event in their local
park; used together they could provide the
basis for a festival or a series of multi skills
stations enhancing your school’s intra- and
inter-school experiences.
