Pupils and staff learn the ropes

In Summer 2024 we hosted the workshop named 'Ropes by Miquita', a community group set up by Ms Miquita Oliver to promote the health benefits of skipping to people of all ages.

After buying skipping ropes for the playground, we realised that a lot of children didn’t know how to use them!

That's when Acting Headteacher Ms Nicola Coyle contacted Ropes by Miquita to run a skipping workshop on the roof of our school.

Ms Coyle, who participated in the workshop herself, said: “It was really good fun. I remember skipping in my childhood but I hadn’t done it for ages. It’s great for mental health and getting the blood pumping.”
