Knowsley Hey have recently trained 15 year 10 and 11 girls to become Netball Organisers. The pupils involved completed training to a very high standard and are looking forward to using their skills to train primary school pupils. Placements have been set up for our young Leaders in Huyton with Roby, St Aidans, The Sylvester School and St Agnes. The Leaders will then bring their teams to a High 5’s Tournament at Knowsley Hey in January.

A big thank you goes out to the year 9 and 11 pupils who assisted with the Primary Gymnastics Evening. Primary school pupils from St Brigids, St Agnes and Ninetree attended and enjoyed working on a variety of Gymnastics areas. The Gymnastics helpers delivered to an extremely high standard and ensured that the pupils thoroughly enjoyed the evening.

The children at Sylvester Primary were all given the opportunity to participate in a week of sport.  Children did football with the LFC coaches, golf, gymnastics, handball, multi-skills, circuit training and relaxation.  The FA also awarded the school the county winners for football.

Whilst most pupils walk calmly and quietly into school, children at Nine Tree  are being encouraged to move about as much as possible - and Wake Up Shake Up.
Pupils spend fifteen minutes each morning taking part in an exercise programme designed to enhance their classroom performance. PE Coordinator, Mike Dignam,
explained Nine Trees commitment to exercise: Studies have shown that children who partake in physical activity are more mentally alert during the school day. Along with our Wake Up Shake Up programme, all children have two hours PE a week and we encourage everyone to get involved in physical activites after school too. There are plenty to choose from - with a different activity on offer each day - including netball, athletics and dance. The school also offers a regular boxing course coached by Andy Furlong of Huyton Boxing Club and takes part in the Huyton School League, run by North Huyton New Deal for Communitues Football Development Officer, Barry Lloyd.
The hard work of staff and pupils has won the school a host of awards - most recently at The Knowsley Indoor Athletics Tournament when Nine
Tree, the smallest school in the Collaborative, brought home an
impressive eleven medals

At St Aidan’s we have started “Cardiocise” on a Thursday morning at 9 o‘clock.  “Cardiocise” is half an hour of circuit training for children and their parents.  During the session the participants get chance to try different exercises that will help to improve their skills and fitness.                                                    
Everybody enjoys the club because they know it is important to get active and stay healthy. 
All of the children involved enjoy going because they get to spend some time with their parents in school while they are learning.
Cardiocise is run by Tom (who is great with the children) he gives everybody clear instructions about what they should be doing during each exercise, he makes sure they are doing it safely and correctly.
