Secondary School Provision
As part of our ongoing partnership with Crompton House, We have covered life skills with the support of Fuel Crossfit Delph. Students used different strategies to overcome barriers and obstacles whilst learning new skills and being physically active! We had a great time and invited the participants down to Oldham Athletic vs Barnet fixture as we continue to build our partnership with the school.
