Norwich Union Girls Active Roadshows
GirlsActive 2008 4th visit to Plymstock School
01 May 2008

Plymstock School, Plymouth

This GirlsActive day was my last return visit following my January roadshow, to investigate the barriers preventing girls from doing more sport, and most of all to meet the girls and teachers to motivate and inspire them.

The activities took place in Plymouth, and involved more than 500 girls from 15 different schools, as part of my work to review Plymstock School Sport Partnership’s action plans for engaging more girls aged 13 -16 in PE and sport.

Plymstock School Sport Partnership is one of only five winning school sport partnerships selected based on the quality of the action plan submitted following their attendance at the roadshow in October last year. I went to the school see how they are implementing their ideas for change.

Activities on the day will include: Trampolining, Judo, Street Surfing, Dance Mats, Rowing, Cheerleading, X-Bikes and Climbing.
