Girlsport(UK)
Girlsport (UK) is an initiative, now in its fourth year, that seeks to provide sporting / social opportunities for girls with SEN. Five activity days are planned each year with the assistance of Gateshead sports development services, Gateshead International Stadium and NIKE.
The initiative has provided sporting opportunities through activity days in rugby, soccer, dance, hockey, basketball, athletics and netball. These days are very popular with pupils and staff and have attracted schools from Northumberland, North Tyneside, Newcastle, Gateshead, South Tyneside, Sunderland and Durham. Some events have had in excess of 140 participants from 14 different schools in one day.
The events are open to girls between 8 and 18 years who have learning difficulties regardless of whether they attend special or mainstream schools.
The programme for 2005 - 06 will be available before end of Summer term. Intertested parties should contact jim dawson at Hill Top School to be added to mailing list.
