It is the bonds we form that allow us to challenge each other, support each other, push forward and work towards the next step for everyone. Our students form a uniquely diverse group, coming from all walks of life from across the Midlands. We celebrate our differences because it gives our vibrant community resilience and helps us to become ever more tolerant and kind. With 2400 students, you are bound to find someone like you, with the same interests and passions. Equally, you will find many more people who are different, from whom you can learn so much and learn so much about other lives. Whether in the classroom, in an enrichment session, on a sports pitch or on a trip overseas, our students work collaboratively, solving problems together, learning together, achieving together and growing together. We encourage you to take risks, become unafraid of failure and to be courageous in your approach to your studies, your wider life and in your thinking about the future. Teaching, support and operational staff work hard to continually deliver their best. Their respect for and investment in their colleagues, the students and for your learning journey provides inspiration and care. Lessons are planned and delivered with passion and staff have the skill to adapt to bring the very best out of everyone. This teamwork allows us to provide students with the very best support and education we can provide. The campus provides a safe and welcoming environment for all. However, for us, it’s more about the people within and theircollective approach to push the limits and to keep delivering great results and great outcomes for young people year on year.

The Netherhall School is part of the Anglian Learning family of schools. We are a thriving and highly distinctive co-educational 11–16 school, serving Cambridge City and beyond. We are proud to have been at the centre of high quality educational activity in Cambridge since 1871, 150 years and counting. Our school values centre on establishing a strong community based on great relationships. They are summed up in the phrase, ‘Inspiring, Individual, Inclusive.’ INSPIRING We believe that students learn best in an environment which inspires them, high quality facilities in purpose built spaces. Also that student deserve the most inspiring teachers and support staff delivering a world-class curriculum. In this environment, students thrive and, in turn, inspire us. INDIVIDUAL We believe that each student brings their own unique potential and talents to the school. We tailor our curriculum and support to meet the needs of each individual rather than using a ‘best fit’ methodology. Extra-curricular activities are not seen as an optional extra but as an expected part of a student’s discovery of themselves. Complementing this, all students build a portfolio of their achievements in and out of school through their years at Netherhall; this takes the form of their Pride Pledge which in accessible on our ALIS intranet site. INCLUSIVE Netherhall is a school where all students and staff are valued, enjoy an atmosphere of tolerance and respect, growing together as a school family. We believe that the synergy of these three factors make a successful school and we continue to work with all stakeholders to produce students with: excellent academic outcomes; empathy and tolerance of each other, their faiths and backgrounds; excellent skills of communication; teamwork; and who have the self-motivation and resilience needed to be successful in the outside world.

Streetgames UK

StreetGames harnesses the power of sport to create positive change in the lives of disadvantaged young people right across the UK. StreetGames' work helps to make young people and their communities healthier, safer and more successful. WHY SPORT? Sport is energetic, inclusive and enjoyable, but StreetGames' goal isn’t just about having fun. StreetGames believes in the power of sport to transform lives and to broaden ambitions. Sport teaches key skills such as teamwork, understanding and self-discipline, brings people together, creates pride in a community, breaks down social boundaries, and inspires people to make a difference in their own lives and for others. Through sport, StreetGames can empower young people to kick-start a cycle of positive change that echoes throughout their entire community. StreetGames' central programme: 'Doorstep Sport' encapsulates many of these important qualities, offering fun and informal sports clubs that work to meet the needs of today's disadvantaged young people - a staggering 70% of whom are not involved in structured activity elsewhere. They do this by operating according to the 'Five Rights of StreetGames': being carried out at the right time, in the right place, with the right people, for the right price and in the right style to suit the needs of these LSEG youth. TEAMWORK StreetGames' work is delivered in partnership with the StreetGames Alliance of around 1,000 Locally Trusted Organisations, working in disadvantaged communities across the UK. The collective power and reach of this alliance enables unparalleled access to young people growing up in over 4,000 poverty-hit localities. These organisations are the lifeblood of their neighbourhoods. They have earned their spurs, built trust and won the right to make a difference in their community. They understand what will work and what’s needed on their patch. They reach those that others find ‘hard to reach’ and are able to collaborate with StreetGames to replicate what works at scale and at pace. The organisations that make up the StreetGames Alliance maintain industry standards for safeguarding, insurance, health and safety, and equalities and diversity. Each is a self-determining organisation that is independently managed and funded. Most are charities, legally constituted community groups or Community Interest Companies. All are embedded in their ‘hard to reach’ neighbourhood. LEVELLING THE PLAYING FIELD 3.5 million UK children currently live in poverty. Fewer than 1/4 meet national guidelines for recommended daily activity. Young people from the lowest economic bracket are 3 times more likely to suffer with mental illness than a counterpart from the highest-earning group. The UK’s poorest children live an average of 3.6 to 5 years fewer than their more affluent peers These same children also spend an additional 16.5 years in poor health. Screenshot 2020-08-06 at 13.01.07.png "StreetGames has turned my life around. If it wasn't for them I don't know where I'd be right now" LYNDSEY DAWN - STREETGAMES PARTICIPANT. StreetGames believes in fair play, both in sport and in life. With only £3.21 to spend on sports activities per week – compared to the national average of £12.11 – struggling families just can’t afford to keep pace. That’s why StreetGames has made it its mission to level the playing field. Here’s how. StreetGames is committed to making communities healthier, safer and more successful. StreetGames' programmes are conducted in the ‘Right Way’ - offering projects at the right time, in the right place, and for the right price to suit the needs of young participants. Through StreetGames' pioneering Doorstep Sport approach, the organisation improves young lives through sport, giving access to positive role models, volunteering opportunities and diversionary activities. Through Fit and Fed, StreetGames tackles the hidden issue of holiday hunger and inactivity, through nutritious meals and fun, healthy activities. Through Us Girls, StreetGames work to empower young women within a holistic and supportive environment - tackling the everyday sexism that presents a barrier to participation in sport.

Gymtopia North East Gymnastics Club

Newcastle

Gymtopia North East Gymnastics Club opened on the 18th November 2014 and first began in both Kenton School sports hall and Wallbottle School sports hall with 3 gymnasts and 2 coaches; one of them being head coach and director Felicity Brown. Felicity had always dreamed of opening her own club to cater for the local community and beyond, giving the potential for participants from all backgrounds to enjoy the sport of Gymnastics. Gymtopia quickly expanded to include multiple classes and in April 2017 opened in its own premises in Brunswick, Newcastle to accommodate the growing number of gymnasts in the club. Gymtopia is fully affiliated with British Gymnastics. Gymtopia now houses over 500+ Gymnasts from Grassroots to national level and hopefully in the future compulsory elite. Beyond this, Gymtopia has 12 recreational classes per week and has developed a growing preschool section to encourage any future gymnasts and increase participation levels from an earlier age. Gymtopia aims to provide opportunities for all, including recreational, competitive and coaching opportunities. Gymtopia believes that sporting participation has great value in the lives of all, beyond the sport. Gymnastics teaches hard work, determination, teamwork and discipline. It is with this work ethic that has enabled Gymtopia to have gymnasts compete all over the country since its opening in 2014, including representing the North of England region at National Finals multiple times. In 2018, Gymtopia also expanded to International competition, competing in Malta. The gymnastics club offers a range of disciplines including recreation, preschool, women’s artistic, women’s general, men’s general and Teamgym. Gymtopia aims to give back to all its members and so Felicity has created the club to be a non-profit community club, all proceeds are invested back into the club for future expansions, increased participation and gymnast development. Gymtopia is currently in the process of becoming a CASC (Community Amateur Sports Club) in order to support our core values of being a non-profit club and catering to the wider community.
