"Dai Greene’s visit to our school created a genuine connection between our students and the Olympics, making London 2012 relevant and exciting. The opportunity to encounter and explore the Olympic Values through the involvement of one of Britain’s biggest Olympic hopefuls has been such a fantastic way of embedding The Games into our school’s curriculum."

Jane Millicent, Patchway Community College, Bath

"The school was well prepared for my visit. The pupils had researched my career and the Olympic and Paralympic Values, which they shared with me in the classroom prior to our activity session outdoors. I feel this really helped them learn something about themselves."

Jenny Meadows on her visit to Lowton Primary School

"Dear Anne, East Garforth would like to thank you for coming to our school. I have learnt from you that you should never give up on your dreams! My dream is to be an artist and one day I will be!"

Grace, Year 5, East Garforth Primary School in Leeds

"Many thanks to the Wells Sports Foundation for organising such an inspirational visit to our school. Michael Rimmer was wonderful with all the pupils and has really motivated them to think about and try to live by the Olympic Values. We hope he can come back and see us again. Good luck at the London 2012 Games."

Dan Keefe, Director of Sport, Clare Mount Specialist College
