Supporting disabled children in sport
The BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year 2008, 13-year-old Eleanor Simmonds, had an amazing year. She was selected for the swimming team at the Beijing Paralympics and came home with two gold medals for her top performances in both the 100 metres and 400 metres freestyle. During her training with Billy Pye, a former miner,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Eleanor regularly travelled more than 160 miles from the village of Alridge near Walsall, West Midlands, to Swansea to use the Olympic-sized pool (her family has since moved to Swansea). Training three days a week for 16 hours, Eleanor has now become the youngest ever British Paralympian to receive a medal.In total, British Paralympians at Beijing brought home 42 gold, 29 silver and 31 bronze medals. Their success offers an excellent boost for disabled students who can at times feel somewhat left out of school sport despite participating in the PE curriculum. There are also plenty of schemes available to support students with a wide range of disabilities.First base for talentThe Playground to Podium Strategy for Young People, set up by organisations including the Youth Sport Trust to identify, develop and support talented disabled athletes, is one of the most important developments. It aims to provide a pathway to take disabled students from school PE through to high level competition standards.The strategy is based around multi-sports clubs out of school hours, where 11- to 18-year-olds can be coached. Ability days also bring students and coaches together so disabled students with specific talents can be assessed and provided with specialist training.Find out more at: [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] national arenaThere are national disability teams in a wide range of sports including cricket, basketball and football, which mean large numbers of disabled youngsters can take their performance to the nextlevel.One of the most popular sports is disability football.Essex is a leading county in this area, working hard with its disabled sports clubs. The Soccability programme includes regular club festivals where youngsters and adults receive professional coaching and the chance to take part in a number of games. Working with Southend United, Chelmsford City and Colchester United, the local FA has an Essex schools programme in place to help and support youngsters keen on developingtheirskills.

Side fencing is used so that the game is not interrupted. The area of play is split into three areas, each with a guide, which helps the players to know where their own side and their opponents are located. Team orientation is very important and players are constantly challenged as they decide whether to pass or shoot for goal.Blind football helps youngsters to learn to run and develops their co-ordination. Brazil is the leading country in this sport worldwide. In Europe, the Spanish, English and Greek teams always do well. The UK government is working with organisations including Sport England and British Blind Sport to develop blind football. Further support will also be given through the English Federation of Disability Sport which it is hoped will inspire schools and clubs to become more involved. The Actionaires Project, run by Action for Blind People, provides a wide range of young people with multi-sportopportunities.Find out more at: [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] cricket Disability cricket is played all over the country and there are a number of county youth teams.

Players have to be registered blind or partially sighted, and four players in any team must be blind. England and Wales has finished third in three Blind Cricket World Cups. The national team has recently toured abroad and won the Blind Cricket Ashes.Blind cricket uses a larger ball than sighted cricket (a size 3 football, filled with ball bearings so that players can hear it approaching) and the ball must pitch at least twice before it gets to a blind batsman and once for a partially sighted batsman. A blind batsman is given one chance before being declared out by LBW and cannot be stumped. The bowler must ask the batsman if they are ready before bowling and shout ‘Play’ as the ball is released. A blind player is also allowed to let the ball bounce once before making a catch.In 2008 there were seven teams in the Blind Cricket England and Wales league, including Birmingham, London and South Wales.Find out more: Your county cricket board will know about disability cricket and blind cricket opportunities in yourarea.Sports for the hard ofhearing The Active Futures Sports Project in the Glasgow area, funded by the Big Lottery Fund, is designed to improve the quality of life for 17 to 24-year-olds by encouraging them to take part more fully in local sports projects including classes for families with deaf or hard of hearing members.ParasportSet up by the British Paralympics Association (BPA) and Deloitte, the Parasport project seeks to increase the participation of disabled youngsters in competitive sports through a new disability sports institute known as Parasport and run by the BPA.Parasport is also the name of a web-based programme designed to inspire, engage and educate people with disabilities and point them towards high quality sporting opportunities.

Despite the school's failure to comply with the statutory requirements, the judge had been entitled to find on the basis of all the evidence that R and F had not proved racial discrimination.
