On Wednesday 8th March 2017 Miss Chittick and Mr Pleydell took 12 children from the ‘Change 4 Life’ group to CSAC to take part in a volleyball festival.

The children have been learning how to play sitting volleyball with Mr Pleydell in the weeks leading up to the mini games. The children have been learning how people with restricted movement take part in sports and to maximise to use of movement we have in order to get the most out of sport.

During the afternoon children were able to mix with pupils from other schools and were coached by GCSE students from Great Baddow High School. They then spent the afternoon rotating around and taking part in a number of skill stations in order to improve their volleyball skills and then ended the afternoon by taking part in some mini games.

We were very proud of all students and the enthusiasm they have shown towards learning a Paralympic sport.
