Sporting Leadership
Opportunities for Students

Sporting Leadership students at the College are regularly
involved supporting the local Primary Schools’ sporting
events, both at the College and in the wider community.
Their commitment to helping the younger children in the
various activities has been wonderful and a true reflection of
their positive attitudes to helping others through sport.
Events included: the Years 5 and 6 Primary School Netball
Competition, the South Hams Area Primary Cross-Country
event held at Filham Park, the Primary Inclusion Festival and
the Ivybridge Learning Community Sports Hall Event.

Devon Youth Workforce Academy
Students from Years 10 and 12 were selected as role models
to be part of the Devon Youth Workforce Academy. The
leadership experience they will gain will not only help them to
become a more effective role model and mentor for this
project; it will also support their wider achievement in College.

College Celebrates Girls’ Nationwide Football Initiative

The College is delighted to announce that, together with the
Football Association (FA) and Youth Sport Trust (YST), they have
joined in a nationwide initiative to give every girl access to
football, and therefore increase the number of girls who play
football in England, by 2024.
The College has been chosen to be the football 'hub' school, to
deliver and host many of the girls’ football activities in the local
area. Game Of Our Own (GOOO) is the name of the new FA
and YST initiative that we will be promoting at the College with
our own students recruiting and delivering the football sessions.
Four Year 9 students have been selected to raise the profile of
girls’ football at the College, namely Lucy Hack, Tiana Campbell,
Chloe Moore and Ellie Sara. The students are all members of the
College’s Girls’ Football Academy, the Girls’ National U14 and
U15 squads and the successful FUTSAL squad that became
National Champions last year. They attended a recent training
day to help recruit and deliver football sessions to enable them
to deliver all that they have learnt to other students.

Students and Staff qualify
as First Aid Trainers

In December, students and staff at the College were invited
to participate in First Aid training sessions led by Jill Chapman,
MCSP SRP.who is a qualified First Aid trainer and
Physiotherapist.
They had basic lifesaving skills, CPR and defibrillation training
given. Many of these students are now qualified as trainers,
and in the New Year they will teach as many of the Year 7
students as they can.
We currently have 78 students and numerous staff who are
already trained. All qualified students and staff are identified
by a British Heart Foundation badge.
