Special Olympics SEND Event (Last Face to Face Event 2020)
We ran a new Special Olympics SEND Forest of Dean event at Newent School on the 10th March 2020. Our SGO, Mr Beard joined forces with Gloucestershire Special Olympics team and many sports to offer a day of SEND styled sport open to all who attend.
150 pupils and students from Primary and Secondary Schools across the Forest of Dean came to the event. We were fortunate to have Mel Nicholls, paralympic speed cyclist & athlete open the event and speak to all the participants.
All could try different sporting activities including, wheelchair rugby, golf, bowls, boccia, cricket, cycling, powerchair football, reaction boards and new age kurling. We would like to thank all the Gloucestershire Special Olympics committee members, Active Gloucestershire, Newent School & Freedom Leisure.
We cannot run these events without all the coaches from the NGB linked sports and local clubs, the amazing Newent and Hartpury College leaders who helped aid the smooth running of this event. Thank you all.

Team Cross Country 2019
We had a fairly dry day up until the winner’s ceremony to run our Steve Gooch Primary Cross Country Finals on Thursday 3 October on the field at Five Acres School. We had 20 schools sign up for this Forest Games' event and we would like to congratulate over 200 runners who took part in running the 1.2km course. We had some great support from the Five Acres PE Department and their sports leaders, so many thanks to them and for the support from the local District Council, Berry Hill Rugby Club and the teachers and parents/carers who attended.
This was a great event for the students to ready themselves for larger competitive events and hopefully keep that interest in running. We celebrated the highest placed teams with Matt Hatton from Steve Gooch Estate Agents who sponsored the event this year with Matt coming along to present the trophies and medals.
The top 3 girls' and boys' teams offered some incredibly low scores and I must mention the winners: Ann Cam Girls, who scored 26 for their top 4 runners in their team of 6. This score was outstanding. Highnam Boys delivered another superb low score of 32. This is such a team effort and should be seen as a positive engagement with young people with all the talk about inactive in the wider media.
Top 3 Team Results:
Girls:
1: Ann Cam Score 26
2: Hope Brook 72
3: Lydbrook 80
Boys:
1: Highnam Score 32
2: Coalway 75
3: Primrose Hill 93
Fastest Girls Run: 4.48:31 Lydbrook
Fastest Boys Run: 4.30:57 Primrose Hill
Active Maths: Continuing Professional Development 2019
Our School Games Organiser, Alan Beard, hosted a course for local primary teachers on Thursday 10 October 2019. The course was an introduction on how to engage students in Maths and English utilising physical activity within their lessons to stimulate and further engage student learning.
We had a good turn out of PE coordinators and teachers who attended from the following schools English Bicknor, Highnam, Mitcheldean, Coalway, Primrose Hill, Lydbrook, Berry Hill, Woolaston, Clearwell, Westbury and Hope Brook.
Big thanks to Active Maths tutor Kevin Barton and the enthusiasm from all staff who attended. It is great to support our Forest Schools with CPD opportunities at Dene Magna.
Primary Badminton Festival 2019
We ran our first Badminton festival for students from year 3 & 4 at various schools across our district on Wednesday 16th October 2019 at Newent School.
Campbell Wilson our Badminton national governing body relationship manager, FOD School Games Organiser Alan Beard and student sports leaders from Newent School ran a super engagement festival in the sports hall.
The students who attended really enjoyed the different activity stations for this Racket Pack Festival. They all tried out badminton related skills over the fun-packed afternoon, keenly assisted by the Newent sports leaders.
Many thanks to the Steve Edgell and the Newent PE team, Roger Stroud and Campbell for delivering this activity for interested schools. We look forward to keeping this on our Forest Games yearly calendar and we will be offering teachers further CPD to assist them within their school badminton.
