National School Sports Week is a campaign put in place every year to celebrate the importance of Physical Education and school sports in enhancing young people’s wellbeing. 
 
Here at Co-op Academy North Manchester we offer a wide range of sporting activities within PE lessons. Sports week gave our pupils a chance to try new sports and activities which are not featured on our curriculum.

Pupils participated as a year group in either a competitive or non-competitive activity throughout the week.

The activities included:

• Boccia
• Kinball
• Uni-Hoc
• Rock Climbing
• America Football
• Team Building on the trim trail
• Golf
• Skateboarding
• Benchball
• Rounders
• Cricket
• Football
• Ultimate Frisbee

Mrs Watkins, Head of PE said: “We’re always encouraging our pupils to get up and active. Alongside the varied Physical Education curriculum we offer many extra-curricular clubs that encourage physical activity.

“National Schools Sports Week is a fantastic opportunity get everyone involved and try something new. The week was a huge success and it was great to see our pupils joining in both competitive and non-competitive activities”
