GCSE students have had the opportunity to become a sports leader and gain their Level 1 Sports Leaders UK Qualification.

The Sports Leaders UK Level 1 Award in Sports Leadership is a nationally recognised qualification that enables successful candidates to lead small groups in simple sport and recreational activities, whilst under the direct supervision of a class teacher or tutor.

The Level One Award in Sports Leadership uses the medium of sport to help people to learn to lead. Abbey College students learn the essential skills of leadership: communication, organisation and motivation, but, in addition, they grow in confidence and self belief from participating in the Award course. The personal journey that students undertake whilst learning to lead, stands them in good stead for their future careers and for life itself.

This year, GCSE Students at Abbey College have run events that include:

•    Short Tennis
•    Table Tennis
•    Handball
•    Cricket
•    Softball
•    Basketball
•    Circuit Training
