Students were invited to participate in a fully inclusive SEN sports day at Nottingham University

This event was organised by Nottingham Active under the title of 'Believe, Move, and Achieve.' Each activity the students took part in had the theme based around resilience, communication and social skills.

There were four activities rotated during the day with two schools sharing each workshop. We were partnered with Bracken Hill.

The first activity was Sitting Volleyball where the students were introduced to the key concepts of moving whilst sitting and different ways to strike the ball.

After a short break we had the privilege of listening to a silver medallist Paralympians from the 2012 games in London. The students had the opportunity to hold a silver medal and Olympic torch.

After the speech the students participated in an indoor Archery session led by the silver medallist.

The students were supported by trained University staff to access the climbing wall with auto belays and harnesses. This activity tested the student’s relationship with heights and was very physically demanding.

The final session was Boccia with the students being introduced to three different activities.  We played as a group with red and blue team.  This was a fantastic conclusion to the day with 100% participation rate from the school.
