South Axholme Academy Leaders Supporting Active Play

Our SAX Leaders recently worked with primary school students to teach a variety of fun and engaging playground games. The sessions were designed to encourage children to play together, build friendships, and stay active during playtimes. By introducing new games and activities, the leaders helped promote teamwork, inclusion, and physical activity, ensuring that all students had opportunities to get involved and enjoy their break times. Well done to our SAX Leaders for being excellent role models and making a positive impact on younger students.
