Holy Trinity School and Sixth Form Centre in Kidderminster have signed up to the ‘FA Girls’ Football Pledge’ which aims to grow girls’ football in schools, with football now an integral part of the school’s PE curriculum and extra-curricular provision.
The scheme’s vision is to give every girl equal access to in-school football by 2024.
The Game of Our Own is a reward and celebration scheme which helps to evidence students’ life skills learning and achievements through football and helps them understand the skills they have learnt and how they can be transferred to wider life. Girls’ football is now on offer in both the school’s primary and senior schools.
Headteacher Pamela Leek-Wright commented:
“It is an initiative that I fully support in ensuring greater opportunities for our students. To create young ambassadors and positive role models within sports is an excellent way of encouraging future engagement and participation.”
