Bolder Academy - Sport and community use

A truly amazing experience for our Cricket Academy students with a masterclass from @StuartBroad8 and Ian Ward thanks to our partnership with @SkyCricket

For the 3rd year we have achieved the Gold School Games mark for our PE, sport and physical activity programmes. We are delighted to achieve this national benchmark which rewards the efforts of the whole Bolder community - students, parents, community partners and school staff
