We are thrilled to announce the launch of an exciting new initiative at Ridgeway Secondary School, aimed at promoting girls’ participation in football. This groundbreaking programme is part of the Barclaycard and FA Girls Football Activator training, a nationwide effort to inspire and empower young women to take up leadership roles and grow their love for the sport.
On Tuesday 14th January, a select group of enthusiastic Year 8 students began their journey as Football Activators. These young leaders have embraced this unique opportunity to develop their skills in leadership, teamwork, and sports advocacy. Over the coming weeks and months, they will play an integral role in promoting football within our school and across our Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) primary schools.
The Football Activator training equips our students with the tools and confidence to inspire others. By hosting football sessions, mentoring younger pupils, and championing inclusivity in sports, they will be at the forefront of creating a supportive environment where girls of all ages can thrive on and off the pitch.
At Ridgeway Secondary School, we are passionate about fostering leadership and empowerment. This initiative perfectly aligns with our commitment to building confidence and resilience in our students. We are proud of our Year 8 trailblazers and look forward to seeing the impact of their work as they engage with their peers and younger students in our MAT community.
We believe this programme will not only enhance participation in football but also instill a sense of pride and belonging, encouraging girls to embrace new challenges and break down barriers.
Stay tuned for updates as our Football Activators kick off this exciting new chapter, bringing energy, inspiration, and teamwork to Ridgeway Secondary School and beyond!
