Last week, twelve of our Year 7 students enjoyed an exciting PE reward trip to Pure Padel Durham, where they had the chance to try out one of the fastest‑growing sports in the world.
Throughout the visit, students took part in a range of skills‑based activities, learning the fundamentals of padel and building their confidence on the court. They then put their new techniques into action with some friendly match play, demonstrating great teamwork, enthusiasm, and sportsmanship.
It was fantastic to see every student embracing a brand‑new sport with such positivity. They developed their skills impressively over the session and represented the school brilliantly.
A huge well done to all involved — we’re looking forward to seeing more of our students giving padel a go in future PE sessions and enrichment opportunities!
