Pupils explored how thoughtful adaptations can “level the playing field,” making sports and activities accessible to everyone. Through engaging discussions, they examined how simple modifications can create more inclusive environments for all participants.
The programme featured a series of carefully designed tasks that allowed pupils to experience firsthand the challenges that might limit full enjoyment and participation in various activities. These exercises provided valuable insights into the importance of adaptive approaches.
Shaneela Joshi, a dedicated Science teacher at Forestwood School, organised the event, with her passion for inclusion clearly evident. Her initiative highlighted how modest adjustments can significantly enhance participation and enjoyment for those with physical and sensory challenges.
The week-long celebration successfully demonstrated how science and inclusive thinking can work together to create more accessible experiences for all pupils.
