Thanet Primary Association for School Sport

The Thanet Primary Association for School Sport, or 'Thanet Passport' as it is more popularly known, is neither a charity nor a business, but is run by schools for schools. It helps organise and supports all primary school sports festivals and competitions across the District. Our aim is to get as many Thanet children participating in sport as possible, regardless of ability, thereby promoting a lifelong interest and commitment to sport and a healthy lifestyle. Fair Play and Team Work are encouraged at all times, as well as the development of skills. However, sport by its nature is competitive and the winners of many of our events go on to represent Thanet at County Finals with great success. 

Our History

Since its formation in 2011, Thanet Passport has continued to grow and now has annual participation figures of more than 10,000. Over 4000 pupils a year, that's a third of children attending primary school in the Thanet District, have taken part in at least one of the 70+ Passport events and festivals. Our work has been recognised, both locally and nationally, and we were proud to win the 'Unsung Hero' accolade at the 2014 Thanet Sports Awards, as well as being Highly Commended in 2016. In 2019 we were one of the winners of the Thanet Community Awards.
