As the new term starts, the students at the Keresley Centre came back to school to be in for a big surprise. Over the half term a new outdoor gym was built for the students to use during PE or their breaks, with the hopes of helping the students to increase their fitness and teach them how to enjoy exercise.

The equipment very kindly donated to us, puts our students at an advantage regarding their fitness, providing them access to equipment they might not have access to anywhere else. The “outside gym” also compliments the Centre’s inside gym, which is set to open within this week, as well as coinciding with our fitness regime.

With consent forms in and students eager as ever, exercise at Keresley has never looked so good. With all students racing to the gym whenever the opportunity arises, the gym is doing its job and doing it well, just proving the students are being actively encouraged into healthy lifestyles.

From all the staff here at Keresley we sincerely thank you!!!!.

Recently here at Keresley we have extended our reach, reaching out to other schools around us in hopes of working together. With Hartshill school willing to “scratch our backs” by offering to network share one of their minibus’s, giving us a reliable mode of transport and opening up more doors for the Centre.

With the mini bus being used daily to pick up and drop students to and from school, as well as transporting them to offsite trips and course’s, the network sharing has turned out to be a renowned success. With the majority of staff able to drive the bus due to the MIDAS test, each staff member does their own share of driving and transporting, therefore making it a smooth operation.
 
With a set of wheels, and all feet on the ground, things are going smoothly here at Keresley, and we look forward to what the future holds.
