Wednesday 25th February 2026 – Today was our first PSSP Primary Inclusion Seated Volleyball event. Sports Leaders from Coombe Dean hosted 5 schools this morning for a fun festival, aimed at developing volleyball skills, social skills and inspire a passion for physical activity. What an exciting morning! Teams from Courtlands, Hooe, Montpelier, Pilgrim, Widey Court and Hyde Park arrived at the Sports Centre to be greeted by the leaders: they took them through a warm up, showed them technique and started with some cooperative game play. Once confidence levels were up, we go into some more competitive games and played against some of the other schools. This may have just become my favourite event of the year so far – it was fantastic to look around and see all of the children engaging and smiling. The sports leaders went above and beyond and were truly inspirational with these children today – thank you so much for all your hard work and a huge thank you to Mrs Walpole for hosting and helping me to lead today’s event. I can’t wait to put this one on again so watch the PSSP website and get signed up to some more inclusion events.
