2012 Olympic Recognition for Wheldon!

As a Specialist Sports College, Wheldon is looking to make maximum use of the 2012 games for students at the school and across other schools in Gedling.  Wheldon is leading the creation of the Gedling Sports Leadership Academy, which brings together Sports Leaders from across all of the Gedling secondary schools to develop their skills and gain additional qualifications.  The first Academy session will take place on 2 December 2010 with 100 students attending a day at Nottingham Trent University where they will gain qualifications in a range of Olympic sports such as; athletics, basketball, tennis and netball. They will then use these skills to support events and competitions back at their home schools.  For the work the school has done in developing the Academy we have been accepted as members of the London 2012 Get Set Network.  This means that the school is officially allowed to use the Olympic logo that you can see here.
