Pupils master Sockminton
Pupils and staff from Avon Park School have been mastering a new sport, Sockminton, created by Ed Wright, Assistant Head Teacher. The game of aims to keep pupils and staff engaged in competitive sport whilst staying safe.

In addition to this new game, pupils have also been developing their volleyball skills through another new game created by Ed, named “sit down volley sock ball”.

Well done everyone!
