Crackley Hall School pupils are topping the leader board in the latest Independent School Association’s (ISA) Limitless Skills Series. The six-week programme of physical challenges is designed to encourage pupils to stay active and harnesses technology, in a fun and engaging way to transform time spent on-screen into time spent being active.
The Skills are challenges developed by physical education experts and come with tutorial videos and feedback from real coaches. Pupils can develop their Skills and also take part in Head to Head Challenges taking on other users moderated by the coaches. The challenges range in ability and interest to make them suitable for all ages and skill levels.
A super huge well done to Junior 3, Isaac Fox who is topping the pupil Global Leaderboard having completed more activities and earned more points than any other competitor.
Crackley Hall School is also currently the best performing school in the country sitting in first place thanks to the efforts of Isaac and pupils from across the school. Across the age groups this week’s top performers are:
Age 11: Isabella Card
Age 10: Alfred Cowell
Age 9: Carter Headland
Age 8: Arthur Cowell
Age 7: Isaac Fox
Age 6: Will Higginbotham
Age 4-5: Hugo Stokes
Head of Sport, Kat Vaughan explains, “Well done to Isaac for his commitment and relentless dedication to developing his skills, his hard work is really paying off. Well done also to all of the children, I have been really impressed by their enthusiasm. So much so that to encourage them all, next week House Points will be awarded to the top performers for the week, so even if pupils haven’t taken part so far next week is definitely the week to get stuck in! One last big push and we may even take the series!”
Come on Crackley Hall, we know you love a challenge!
