Dodgeball

On 23rd November Forest Way School participated in a dodgeball festival at Ashby School. The students participated in fun competitions and games with lots of different schools around the area, whilst being supported by the North West Leicestershire School Sports Partnership Trust. None of the students were afraid to get stuck in and they all displayed both teamwork and honesty with their play. 

Communication

The Menphys Charity and the Randal Foundation have developed the Digital Communication Aid Project to support the development of some of our students' communication skills.

Panathlon Special School Ten Pin Bowling Event

On the 15th November Forest Way School participated in a Panathlon Special School Ten Pin Bowling Event at East Street Lanes in Leicester. This event was hosted by Leicester City SPPAN, the School Sport & Physical Activity Network. Forest Way School came 2nd, and all walked away with silver medals. One of our students won two individual awards: one for the highest individual score of the whole competition and also the individual with the most strikes/spares! All our students and staff had a great time and were proud of our achievements and development as the day went on. 

​Multi-Sport Inclusive Event

On the 26th October Forest Way School hosted and participated in a multi-sport inclusive event run by the North West Leicestershire School Sports Partnership Trust. We had 7 students in Post-16 who received additional training the day before to support the delivery of the different activity stations. We also had 10 primary students on the day participate throughout the different inclusive, multi-sport stations. Thank you to all the local primary schools which attended and the support from our sport leaders.

Last week (w/c 1st November) we had 20 students achieve their Level One in their Bikeability training. Bikeability is a is the government’s national cycle training programme.  Bikeability gives everyone the confidence to cycle and enjoy this skill for life and prepare to understand how to cycle safely on the roads. Bikeability will be returning within the year to complete Level Two with some students.
