Senior pupils took part in an inspirational workshop with the CandoCo, a dance company that seeks to inspire audiences and support participants to achieve their highest aspirations in line with the Company’s ethos that “dance is accessible to everyone”. Their focus is on dance not disability, professionalism not therapy.
A day of workshops was set up as a starting point for our Rock Challenge entry next April 2008. The idea was to show pupils and staff that ‘all things are possible’ and to act as a catalyst from which to generate ideas. Workshops for pupils took place all day and then a staff training workshop was held after school. It was a fantastic day and everyone was buzzing with ideas by the end of it.
The theme for our performance is Sports and fitness to link with our whole school focus on Sport and Health and our application for Specialist Sports College status that was submitted in October 2007.
The Cando Company are returning in February to take a look at the progress we’ve made and help us to further develop our ideas.
