  Due to several pupils having severe nut allergies across the school we request that when sending in packed lunches or snacks that the items do not contain nuts.

   

  Thank you

  

• Sports Leaders

  Fri 24 Apr 2015 Kevin Robson
  In February, 4 of our students, Matthew Batkin, Keiron King, Stuart Crown and Bradley Parfitt attended a sports leadership day at Northfield School in Billingham. The aim of the event was to develop the student’s sports leadership skills and help them to increase their confidence when delivering activities. The students also learnt how to play inclusion sports such as table cricket, poly bat and goalball so they are full of new ideas that they can bring back to deliver in our school. All the lads were a credit to themselves on the day, so much so that they have been asked to help out at forthcoming sports events that are taking place in the Tees Valley area in the future.

• Swimming Success

  Fri 24 Apr 2015 Kevin Robson

  Bethany and Imogen were presented with their  swimming certificates by Olympic swimmer Chris Cook.

   

  Chris’s swimming specialism is the breaststroke. He won the Gold medal in the 50 and 100 metre finals representing England at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, Australia.  

   

  He has also competed for Great Britain in the 100m breaststroke event at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens and once again in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China .

   

  To gain the Water Skills 5 Certificate Bethany had to work very hard and swim 25 metres (which is just over two lengths of the pool) using the front crawl, then another 25 metres back crawl. Swim for at least two minutes without stopping, sculling feet first and head first, surface diving and swimming underwater. To swim using other strokes than front crawl and backstroke.

  Well done Bethany
