Winter term news from Sports College
Fri 15 Dec 2017Clare Mount Sports College is the Lead Inclusion School for Merseyside. Mr Keefe, Mr White and Ms Green work with partners across Merseyside, the UK and Europe to support young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, young people with low confidence and self-esteem, and young people with high levels of inactivity.
We work to enable young people with SEND to have fair and full access to competitions in the School Games and lifelong learning in PE and Sport through:
· Working with training teachers to deliver Inclusive PE lessons.
· Driving Unified Sport in partnership with the Special Olympics to give young people with additional needs the opportunity to play sport with their non-disabled peers.
· Partnering with Woodchurch High School, Whizz Kids, The Hive and the NHS to deliver Ambassador Clubs through our wheelchair hub.
· Inspiring young people through the School Games offer to everyone in schools on Wirral in a range of adapted, disability and parallel sports.
· Building resilience and confidence through our Extreme Sport hub with Jenna Downing and Neil Danns.
· Showcasing and delivering innovative physical and mental health programmes with partners like the Underground Training Station, Wirral Healthy Schools and Liverpool John Moores University and Uniuversity of Chester in Warrington.
Here is a selection of some of our sports college work this term.
Unified Sports is a Special Olympics programme which joins people with and without intellectual/ learning disabilities on the same team. It is inspired by a simple idea; training together and playing together is a quick path to friendship and understanding.
In Unified Sports, teams are made up of people of similar age and ability, which makes practices more exciting and fun for all.
Our opponent is intolerance. Only shoulder-to-shoulder, as teammates together, can we defeat it.
Since September 2017 we have trained over 250 training teachers, teachers, teaching assistants and sport apprentices in how to deliver inclusive PE lessons.

Clare Mount VIP Guests at the BBC
Fri 01 Dec 20176 Post 16 students, Mr Stanley and Mr Kearney visited Salford Quays to go and see how various BBC programmes work behind the scenes. Our BBC School Media Partner Katie Walderman, who is one of the BBC presenters, was our host and we sat in during the production of the 1:30pm News Bulletin on North West Today. We then had opportunities to meet the presenter, Annabel Tiffin and she talked to the group about what it is like to present the show. Finally we had a full tour of the BBC Sport Studios and opportunities to watch the Sports Bulletin being produced as well as a talk from one of the main BBC Sport presenters.
It was a fantastic day and the students were excellent ambassadors for the school. We have been invited to take further groups up to Salford in the New Year and Katie will be visiting to conduct some Media workshops in the build up to BBC School Report Day in 2018. Thanks to Mr Stanley for making sure we could attend by driving the bus.
