Staffordshire pupil wins trip to Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games

The Visa Trip Package includes flights and accommodation, tickets to the Opening Ceremony and sporting events, along with visits to key cultural and tourist sites.

London 2012 is inviting schools, colleges and other learning institutions across the UK to lead the celebrations around the Paralympic Handover on 17 September. 

Reece's school, St Peter’s C of E (Aided) Primary School in Caverswall, Staffordshire, was one of the first to register on the dedicated Paralympic Handover website, launched to help young people make plans for marking the moment the Paralympic Flag is handed from the Mayor of Beijing to the Mayor of London. All schools which registered by 25 June were entered into a draw to win the trip.

Reece, who will be accompanied by his father, will also assume the role of reporter during his trip to Beijing. He will take photos and write blogs for the London 2012 website to share his experience with his fellow pupils and other young people across the UK.
 
Reece said: 'It's a fantastic opportunity, not many children get the chance to visit China and attend the Paralympic Games. I am very excited about the trip and am looking forward to my new job as a reporter!'
