SHAPE Weekly Newsletter

12th March 2025


Welcome!

We are thrilled to welcome our new Sport & Physical Activity Assistants, Amelia Siddall and Poppy Lummis, to the SHAPE family. If you haven't met them yet, they will be visiting your school soon.

We also want to extend our best wishes to Sam Green for his future endeavours, as he will be leaving us at the end of the week.

Last Friday, we had a fantastic time at Go Active @ The Arc during the Girls' Biggest Ever Football Session. If you held your own session at school, we would love to hear about your experiences!

Remember, if you have any news, achievements, or shout-outs that you would like us to share with our affiliated schools, please email l.caton@brookfieldcs.org.uk and we will include them in the newsletter.

Warm regards, SHAPE Learning Partnership Team

Inclusive PE

We are excited to share the release of the free Inclusive Physical Education e-learning course as part of the Inclusion 2024 programme investment.

The content has been redeveloped with the support of Leeds Beckett University and Lead Inclusion Schools to ensure the information is informative and relevant to practitioners. Each section contains an introduction, key facts, space for self-reflection on current practice, tips on how to improve your practice and a handy additional resource page. A certificate is provided after each module, in addition to the completion of all ten modules.
