Nineteen Sports Leaders travelled to Queen’s Campus to help deliver an exciting **Pirate Festival** for KS1 children, supported by the Stockton Schools Sports Partnership. The event focused on fun, energetic activities designed to build agility, balance and coordination in younger pupils.

### A Day of Growth and Leadership

Throughout the day, the Sports Leaders demonstrated excellent communication skills, maturity and teamwork. Staff feedback was incredibly positive, noting how confidently the students adapted, instructed and encouraged the children taking part.

### A Memorable Experience for Everyone

The event was a fantastic opportunity for the Sports Leaders to develop their leadership skills while delivering an enjoyable experience for younger pupils. The group returned proud of what they achieved — and excited for the next opportunity to support future events.
