15 of our Year 9 students have successfully completed a 3-day course to qualify as Youth Health Champions. The course involves sporting and learning activities that create a Level 2 qualification and funding is provided by Greater Manchesters #BeeWell initiative to lead health campaigns at a school of choice.
The event was hosted at Littleborough Sports Centre and involved students from Wardle Academy and St Cuthbert’s RC High School.
