WATCH: A Festival Of Sporting Fun For S.E.N.D Pupils

Friday, 2 December 2022 at 11:47

By Mark Frost X @Mark_P_reporter

We were at Denton Community College on Wednesday afternoon for the Panathlon Challenge Multi-Sport event.

The competition, created in partnership with the Tameside School Sports Partnership, provides an opportunity for pupils with special educational needs to take part in a range of fun, friendly and competitive activities.

We spoke to Panathlon's Andy Lord to find out about his background, how the charity secures funding to host the events, and the impact they have on developing the pupils' confidence - both inside and outside of school.
