Hill look over the Kent Messenger’s Kent School Games coverage
The Kent School Games has been voted
such a success that the model is going to be taken nationwide.
MP for Faversham & Mid-Kent and
new Sports & Olympics Minister Hugh Robertson says he is
considering how to implement the format across the whole country
after the success of the second biennial competition earlier this
month.
Kent County Council leader Paul Carter
said: "It’s been a phenomenal success – over 550 schools
participating, 30,000 young people.
"It’s really good news to hear that
the new Sports Minister Hugh Robertson has planned to model a whole
UK school games based on what we started here in Kent two years
ago."
He added: "I’m delighted it’s been a
great success, but most importantly a success for all of those
young people that have taken part in the Kent School Games."
