We are pleased to offer our affiliated schools the opportunity to bring a group of 10 SEND pupils to take part in our SEND Multi-sport festival.
THE TEAMS
This competition is for SEND primary-aged children (KS1 and KS2).
Each group should be made up of 10 students of mixed gender with cognitive or physical disabilities.
EVENT LEAD
The GSSN staff will be leading this event with the support of Gloucester Academy School Sport Leaders.
EVENT FORMAT
The pupils will take part in a range of activities which will include: New Age Kurling, Boccia, New Age Bowling, target shooting and table tennis.
Boccia is an attack-defend game, with two sides competing over a set number of ends. The aim is to score as many points as possible by placing their set of coloured balls closest to the white jack ball.
New-Age Bowls is an easy-to-play version of the traditional game of bowls that has been adapted to make it fun and accessible to any players of any age or ability.
New-Age Kurling is a sport that requires participants to deliver stones from one end of a court to a target at the other end of the court.
SEND events are aimed specifically at SEND students. There is an expectation that participants DO NOT compete for the school in any other non-SEND linked sport. The emphasis should be on encouraging participation for ALL young people, particularly those that do not usually get an opportunity to represent their school.
Please email bh@gssn.co.uk if you would like to join us on what will be a fun, active day.
