The group visited Hatfield Water Park and was led by the specialist instructors there and also experienced the thrill of racing at the Brodsworth Community fields which was directed by staff from the Community Rangers.

Climbing, orienteering, problem solving, raft building AND A Zip wire challenge to mention a few were experienced no matter the weather !

Adwick Park, Owston, All Saints and Northridge took up the challenge and brought along classes to compete with over 150 students turning up on the actual day .Each school was divided up into countries so they got the opportunity to  work along side pupils from other schools.

Each leader delivered a 40 minute session which had a warm up, skills development and conditioned games. Each group then played a tournament against another group-each representing a country  and the overall winners were Italy.

I was very impressed with all concerned at the event with the younger students working well together, the sun shone and the sessions were all well presented .It was an excellent morning with our students at the Academy demonstrating wonderful leadership and being exceptional role models. Well done !
