Our athletes from Unit have won Gold at the Panathlon Challenge.

The students competed in boccia, table cricket, polybat, new age kurling, seated shotput, javelin and precision bean bag throw at the competition’s Multi Sports Final which was held at our sister school, Brooke Weston Academy last week.

CBA Special Needs Teacher Janice Hingley said: “Our students were brilliant and we were thrilled that they came first in the overall competition.

“They all tried very hard and they showed great sportsmanship throughout the competition.

“When they found out they had won they all cheered and were so happy.

“We would also like to thank the Brooke Weston Trust Young Leaders who ran the competition so well and Brooke Weston Trust CEO Dr Andrew Campbell for coming along to support us.”

Our students will now go through to the regional final at Stoke Mandeville Stadium.

Panathlon Challenge is a national charity which provides sporting opportunities for more than 7,500 disabled young people every year.
