Portland College and This Girl Can

Active Notts, Learning, Support Others

We know from data and insight that young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) are less likely to be active and if we want to address this inequality, we have to provide more support to empower these young people to move more in a way that works for them.


Portland College in Nottinghamshire has long understood the power of physical activity and invests in wellbeing right across their work. Leading this work is Dave Winter, Curriculum Manager who is also the chair of Special Olympics Nottinghamshire and therefore understands the power of physical activity and sport to support our wellbeing.
