EMAT Olympics 2025

The EMAT Olympics are back for 2025!

We are thrilled to be partnering with GB Olympics once again to host our 2025 EMAT Olympics, featuring a range of sporting events plus special guests.

Our special programme of events will kick off in June with our EMAT torch relay, which will travel to each of our schools within the Trust to see every pupil complete a mile by walking or running. Thanks to the Mintridge Foundation, we will be joined for the torch relay by Paralympic wheelchair basketball player Sophie Carrigill, Emma Wiggs MBE who has won two Paralympic Gold medals and one Paralympic Silver medal in canoeing, Heather Fell, an Olympic Silver Medallist in Modern Pentathlon, and Team GB rower Caragh McMurtry, who will make special appearances throughout the week to meet our pupils. 

Our Ability Games is a special event for our pupils with additional physical or communication needs taking place at Castle Academy on Wednesday 18th June. Paralympic archer Tania Nadarajah will be joining us to work with the pupils and share her expert tips. 

The main event - our EMAT Olympic Day - will take place on Wednesday 25th June at Corby Athletics Stadium. The day will involve pupils from EMAT schools plus four schools from the Nene Valley Partnership for a traditional athletics competition for our primary and secondary students.

Our Olympic Day will once again be hosted by Sky Sports presenter Dave Fulton and live streamed throughout the day for parents and carers to watch online. Supporting Dave will be our Year 10 student reporters to commente on the events and do some trackside interviews with our competitors.
