SPORTING SPIRIT

Another year of incredible sporting competitions have begun to play out across Inspiration Trust

With a penchant for sport, we pride ourselves on not only being able to offer our students a nationally-recognised sports curriculum, but half-termly intra-trust sports competitions that give our students the chance to shine outside of the classroom too!

Another Year Of Epic Sporting Events Kicked Off At The Nest

With a monumental 176 games played over two days, a new year of incredible sporting events kicked off at The Nest in October with a large-scale Football Competition that spanned over two days.

Not for the faint-hearted, the trust-wide competition saw KS3 and KS4 boys and girls from all our schools battle it out to be crowned cup winners.

With an electric atmosphere and a fierce competitive spirit, the competition was a fantastic display of sportsmanship, teamwork and athletic ability which saw East Point Academy, Hethersett Academy, King Edward VII Academy and Wayland Academy coming out on top.

Back In The Swim Of Things

In November we saw 228 of our Inspiration Trust students go head-to-head in our trust-wide UEA Sportspark. As one of the only olympic-sized pools in all of the country, the swimmers were such a brilliant space, bringing all they had to the pool.

With a combination of 96 single races and relays that never saw the talent wavering, Thetford seized the day to be crowned overall winners.

Charles Darwin Primary Launched To Top Of The Table In Dodgeball Tournament

November saw us double-down on the sporting competitions with us also holding a trust-wide Dodgeball Tournament for our primary schools.

The competition, which saw around 100 pupils take part was a fantastic show of integrity and showed our younger students the importance of playing fairly. The mixed groups, which consisted of 10 pupils, played a round-robin style tournament that blended competition with fun and saw Charles Darwin Primary grab the top spot.

INSPIRATION TRUST SCHOOLS SMASH IT AT TRUST-WIDE BADMINTON COMPETITION

February saw our epic return to the UEA Sportspark where we held our trust-wide badminton competition.

The event was a total smash with students spanning from Year 7 through to Year 10. Each school held their own, right through to the nail-biting finish which saw King Edward VII Academy, Hethersett Academy and Great Yarmouth Charter Academy snatch the winning titles.

With a fantastic effort given by all, a number of individual awards were given out to pupils for playing with heart and dedication too.

Keep your eye out for more trust-wide competitions taking place soon!
