Sport and Leisure
We at Mill Ford School see fitness for life as very important and work to instil in pupils a love of sport. To achieve this we buy in a specialist iPE teacher, with particular skills in disability sport. Our PE specialist supports us by:
- Setting up inter school events to allow competition with other schools
- Supporting community clubs and our links with them
- Setting up specialist coaching sessions (e.g. rugby days, weekly tennis)
- Talent ID through links with disability coaches
- Professional development within school
- Setting up weekly swimming lessons for our students at the life centre
- Supporting assessment of progression within PE
We also have strong links with 1st for Community Sports
Mark Blackler from 1st for Community Sports runs a tennis academy for talented tennis players, which some of pupils access.
Through these sporting activities we work together to encourage pupils to take up sport outside school.
