Kick It Out holds a schools’ competition as part of the weeks of action, which focuses on a different aspect of the National Curriculum every year.
The National Schools’ Competition provides an ideal opportunity for schools to take part in the weeks of action. This year the competition is open to all pupils in Key Stage Two and Three, with separate prizes awarded in each age group.
For our 2008 competition, we are asking schools across the country to get involved by coming up with an idea to help us create our own Kick It Out mascot, called Kio.
Mascots have been used by charities, football clubs and other sporting occasions for many years, and many mascots, like Children In Need’s Pudsey Bear have become household names.
The overall winning design will become Kick It Out’s official mascot and will be made up into a full sized costume by a leading design agency.
Kio (pronounced Key-oh) will then attend football matches, visit schools and community events and may even appear in a cartoon strip or compete in the Mascot Grand National.
