Students from Catmose College recently took part in the Disability Athletics Competition.

KS3 students competed at Crown Hill Academy at the end of November and placed 6th out of 27 teams. KS4 competed the following week at Aylestone Leisure Centre and again came an incredible 6th out of 18 teams.

Special mention to Amy, Year 11, who took part in all events, target throw, javelin, speed bounce, hi stepper and shot put and was ranked the overall wheelchair athlete of the day. Well done Amy!

The scores from the first round are calculated depending upon the severity of the disability and the top 5 scorers from each team go through to the next stage. Team Catmose qualified for the regional round of the competition which took place on Friday 7 December at Aylestone Leisure Centre

The students performed brilliantly at the regional round with our KS3 team achieving 4^thplace and our KS4 team placing 3^rdand all received bronze medals.

Special mentions to Harvey, Year 8, who gained an outstanding National Standard Silver Award and Harry Year 10, who gained the highest score on speed bounce out of all competitors, an amazing 73 jumps in 30 seconds! An amazing result from all who took part.
