It was time for some real, practical learning for the staff of St Joseph’s as they worked hard with Martin Caldwell, the area Active Schools Co-ordinator on athletics training during the INSET day on Friday.  The school had received a generous grant from Awards for All for new PE equipment and excellent athletics resources were welcomed at the school.  Martin did a sterling job of putting us all through our paces and the staff were inspired and motivated to further develop athletics training in school with some brand new equipment.

Everything from the basics of running, jumping and throwing programmes to long jump and javelin throwing were incorporated. A good time was had by all as we look forward with enthusiasm to our athletics block next term.
