St James School in Exeter hosted the Devon Physical Disability Super Sports Event alongside Devon’s Physical Disability Team.
Twenty five students from across Devon attended the event and the school’s Year 9 Sports Leaders were on hand to help out on the day.
Students played included inclusive tennis, wheelchair basketball and a multi-sports skills session. There were also games of boccia, a game where athletes throw, kick or use a ramp to propel a ball onto the court with the aim of getting closest to a 'jack' ball.
Emily Harper, head teacher at St James School said: “It was brilliant to host the Devon Physical Disability Super Sports Event at St James this term. Meeting the young people from across Devon was so lovely and it was great to have our Year 9 Sports Leader on hand, they were a real help and credit to the school.”
Moira Marder, CEO of the Ted Wragg Trust said: “Everyone at the trust is so pleased that St James was able to host this important event for young people across Devon. It sounds like it was an amazing day and I am glad that St James could share their excellent sporting facilities for the benefit of others.”
