SUMMARY:SEND FESTIVAL OF SPORT
DESCRIPTION: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.  \nTHE TEAMS\nThis competition is for SEND primary-aged children (KS1 and KS2).\nEach group should be made up of 10 students of mixed gender with cognitive or physical disabilities.\n\nEVENT LEAD\nThe GSSN staff will be leading this event with the support of Gloucester Academy School Sport Leaders.\n\nEVENT FORMAT\nThe pupils will take part in a  range of activities which will include: New Age Kurling\, Boccia\, New Age Bowling\, target shooting and table tennis. \nBoccia 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. \nNew-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. \nNew-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.\nSEND 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.  \nPlease email bh@gssn.co.uk if you would like to join us on what will be a fun\, active day.

SUMMARY:New Event Boys-only Team Building Event - Target Year 4's

Those who may be struggling working with their peers\, or who need the opportunity to spend some quality time in a positive boys-only environment\,\nHenley Bank male sports leaders will be organising a selection of engaging team-building activities\, along with some small sided multi-sport games. It will be a fun\, non-intimidating sporting event. \n📧 How to book\nPlease confirm your school’s attendance by emailing bh@gssn.co.uk.
