I hope you find this week&#8217;s edition interesting and will come back for more.<\/p>\n<h2>Community Sports Center<\/h2>\n<p>A few week&#8217;s ago I was reading an interesting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sportengland.org\/media-centre\/news\/2016\/january\/7\/corrie-star-kim-to-mark-opening-of-new-sports-centre\/\">article<\/a> from Sports England. This article was regarding \u00a0a brand new sports center \u00a0built in Chesterfield. This sports center includes facilities such as a swimming pool, sports hall, studios and a gym.<\/p>\n<p>I think it is fantastic that this community that was underachieving in their sporting activity levels have got these first class facilities. Especially for the children.<\/p>\n<p>When I think closer to home, I realise how fortunate we are to have such great facilities at NTC, Thamesview, and St Johns. Apart from a gym and swimming pool. Our sports facilities\u00a0are equivalent to that of a sports center. For example, we have a large sports hall with viewing gallery, studios, and outside sports areas.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_360\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.schoolsplus.co.uk\/ntc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/01\/Sports-Hall-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-360\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-360\" src=\"http:\/\/www.schoolsplus.co.uk\/ntc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/01\/Sports-Hall-1-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"Sports Center\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.schoolsplus.co.uk\/ntc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/01\/Sports-Hall-1-300x224.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.schoolsplus.co.uk\/ntc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/01\/Sports-Hall-1-1024x764.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-360\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sports Hall at NTC<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_361\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.schoolsplus.co.uk\/ntc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/01\/Activity-Hall.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-361\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-361\" src=\"http:\/\/www.schoolsplus.co.uk\/ntc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/01\/Activity-Hall-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Sports Center\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.schoolsplus.co.uk\/ntc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/01\/Activity-Hall-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.schoolsplus.co.uk\/ntc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/01\/Activity-Hall.jpg 860w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-361\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Activity Studio at Thamesiew<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_362\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.schoolsplus.co.uk\/ntc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/01\/Dance-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-362\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-362\" src=\"http:\/\/www.schoolsplus.co.uk\/ntc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/01\/Dance-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Sports Center\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-362\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dance Studio at St Johns<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Along with our non-sport spaces, like the classrooms and drama studio.
