The Morley Academy - Sport

Our extra curricular timetable is locked in and ready to go 👏🏻 @themorleyacad

All PE groups were welcomed back this week and successfully completed their PE induction. During the induction they learnt about the high standards and expectations within the department, as well as finding out about all of the extra-curricular opportunities on offer 🤩

We all want children and young people to enjoy playing out over the summer months. The water may look safe but it can be dangerous. Further information about keeping your child safe over summer can be found at the Leeds Safeguarding Children Partnership website.

Congratulations to our very own Molly N in Y9 who has qualified for 6 events at the British Swimming Championships. Throughout the week she will be competing in the 1500m, 800m, 400m freestyle, 200m butterfly, 200m and 400m Individual Medley. Good luck Molly! 👍🏊‍♀️👊🏻
