Badminton Gloucestershire Community supported with funding from Badminton England is working alongside teachers in eight secondary schools within Gloucestershire to support the teaching and learning of badminton. This pilot initiative was established in response to a growth in numbers of pupils opting to take badminton as one of their GCSE PE sports. The scheme consists of a CPD workshop for participating schools followed by five in lesson support sessions with a coach working with students and PE staff.
The following schools are participating in the pilot:
Bournside
Chosen Hill
Cleeve
Dean Academy
Denmark Road
Newent
Pates
Stroud High
It is hoped if the initiative proves successful the scheme will be made available for more schools to apply for.
Every year junior players meet in tournament to raise money for charity. On Saturday 1st July 2018 over seventy players from Gloucestershire met to compete at Bournside Sports Centre in Cheltenham resulting in £350 being raised for the Scoo-B-Doo charity which supports the welfare of babies at Gloucester Royal Hospital. Congratulations and thank you to all who took part.
