Five-time Paralympic champion Ellie Simmonds supports a new campaign to get more disabled children playing sport in primary schools.
Five-time Paralympic gold medallist Ellie Simmonds is one of the famous faces supporting a new campaign to get more disabled children - and those with special educational needs - playing sport in primary schools.
Simmonds said: “No matter who you are and no matter what disability you have, you can move, you can get active, you can be included.” Campaign organisers said they hope the programme will help ensure no primary school age pupil is left on the sidelines during PE lessons.
