Sport Students Organise Football Event

Weston College Sports students held a successful primary school football event at Weston College’s Health and Active Living Skills Centre. This event showcased the outstanding efforts of our dedicated Sports Coaching & Physical Education, Level 3 learners, who played a pivotal role in organising and executing a memorable day for all participants.

The Sports students demonstrated teamwork and commitment throughout the entire process, working collaboratively with the North Somerset Schools Partnership for Educational Athletics (NSSPEA) and the Education Learning Alliance Network (ELAN). Their efforts included reaching out to school staff before the event, coordinating various activities for the day, and ensuring the seamless running of the event.

The objective of this initiative was to provide the Sports students with valuable opportunities to take charge in organising events, fostering connections with local businesses and schools, and enhancing their coaching skills. By engaging in the planning and execution of the football event, students gained hands-on experience in event management, teamwork, and community collaboration. By actively participating in the planning and execution of the primary school football event, these students gained practical insights into organising sports events, enhancing their leadership skills in the process.

"We are thrilled to see our students taking initiative and actively contributing to the success of this primary school football event," said Dan Lomax, Curriculum Co-ordinator of Sport and Health at Weston College. "This experience goes beyond the classroom, providing them with practical skills and a sense of responsibility that will undoubtedly serve them well in their future careers."

The College remains committed to providing students with opportunities that not only enhance their academic knowledge but also empower them to become confident, capable, and community-minded individuals.

This student-led event formed part of the Sport and Fitness Careers Excellence Hub; Weston College is committed to preparing learners for success in a rapidly evolving job market which is reflected in our offer via our bespoke Career Excellence Hubs, which form an integral part of all college programmes.
