Spotlights

Sky Kidz TV has highlighted the importance of inclusivity in PE and school sport for young people with SEND in their latest episode which spotlights, Emily, a pupil from Sheffield Springs Academy, Lead Inclusion School in South Yorkshire. It was great to showcase the positive impact the school is having on Emily and her school experience. You can watch the story back on the recording here, starting at 4:05.

Park House School in Grimsby, a graduate of the My Personal Best for Alternative Provision programme, was highlighted in an article on BBC news spotlighting the positive impact they’ve had in developing the life skills of their pupils. The article shines a spotlight on the pupils' stories, including Destiny and Summer who are now thriving at Park House after being excluded from mainstream school. You can find the article here.
