Therapeutic Boxing Hits New Highs

Returning to the Spring Term, Stu Baillie brings his Therapeutic Boxing back to the Upper Site with the structure of improving discipline, developing awareness of boundaries and learning the skills with mixed martial arts.

This term, the emphasis is to have learners from Years 7 and 8 develop relationships with learners from Years 10 and 11, with the older learners becoming peer mentors with behaviour expectations.

Learners were engaged in their first session, taking the opportunity to work with Stu throughout the afternoon and develop a bond with Stu himself as he gave an insight into his background, experiences and instilling the expectations of the sessions.

After their session, the learners were very grateful of the drink provided, as they all worked very hard. Well done to all, and a special mention to all learners - Stu commented that this was one his best session yet, excellent participation, teamwork and manners!
