Some of our Year 9 and 10 young people are currently completing a 8-week Boxing Awards Programme. The programme is offered by Matthew Hirst professional boxing coach at BLAST fit @BLASTfit Studio, a boutique studio based in Hanger Lane. The aim is to build self – confidence. It teaches discipline, work ethic, self-control, problem-solving, athletic conditioning, patience and social skills. By all accounts the boys have thoroughly enjoyed the first two weeks and are well underway of attaining their first Preliminary Award. The certificate can be used to support GCSE and Prince’s Trust award.
