Boost in sporting activities for Broadstone school
Broadstone Middle School now offers a Sport Stream for pupils which will enable them to take part in a wide range of sports.
Children attending Broadstone Middle School have the chance to develop their sporting prowess.
Alongside the existing full academic curriculum, the new Sport Stream will offer a professional grounding in sport.
It will include individually tracked physiological assessments and analyses, strength and conditioning programmes, and information sessions for parents.
A wide range of sports will be included and those selected for the stream will be able to attend live sporting fixtures and events.
Jade Palmer, headteacher, said: “Our academic and SEND provision are well known, but we wanted to add something extra to what the school offers.
“With sport being another strong part of Broadstone Middle School, we have decided to super-charge it for some of our students.
“Career opportunities in sport are growing fast and we want to give our students a head start.
“Understanding what professional athletes have to go through will help provide a valuable understanding of this world.
“The sports stream is available to all Broadstone Middle School students and those interested will need to complete a trial to assess skill level and suitability and commit to the highest levels of attendance and punctuality.
“We are linking with sports clubs to help create training programmes that will continue through a child’s time with us.”
Dawn Wilks, the executive headteacher, said: “As well as the sports provision, the school enters national dance competitions and extra-curricular activities are very important.
“Parents really do appreciate this, and our Sport Stream will be rolled out to include our first school.”
The school is part of the Castleman Academy Trust. Its CEO Rhonda Moore said: “Many parents will know this offering will really suit their children.
“And to immerse a child in sport will provide life lessons that will be of use whatever they go on to do.”
