Schools Take Part in Sport Relief Mile Together

Students from both Yarborough and St Francis Special School today took part in the Sport Relief mile around the running track at Yarborough School. Yarborough School students assisted their fellow students in wheelchairs whilst able bodied students from St Francis walked the mile. After the mile was completed a party was held at Yarborough School which included a buffet and music.

The event was organised by Year 13 students at Yarborough as part of their business Studies project and had to be student led with minimum input from their teacher. Fran Weaver, senior TA at St Francis School said, “The rapport between St Francis and Yarborough students has been fantastic and could not have been better. The interaction between both schools was amazing."

A number of students from St Francis were also keen to speak about the day, commenting how they really enjoyed the event and it was a good change to come out of school and do something different. Danielle Priestly, a year 13 student at Yarborough School added, “We’ve all really enjoyed the event today. Everyone had a different role to play with the organisation of the project and we found it pretty easy to work together."

The two schools got on so well together St Francis have invited Yarborough students to their school as part of their Duke of Edinburgh Award where they have to plan a meal and entertain their guests.
