On Thursday 3rd December 2009, Joseph Whitaker Sports College in Mansfield celebrated 1000 days till the start of the Paralympic Games in London, by holding an Interform event for pupils in Years 7, 8 and 9.

Over 600 pupils were involved, taking part in Paralympic sports such as Sitting Volleyball, Goalball, Seated Table Tennis and Boccia.

All pupils thoroughly enjoyed the event and it proved to be a huge success, with pupils explaining at the end of each session how difficult these activities are! 

 
Volleyball is now an integral part of the curriculum at Joseph Whitaker Sports College. All pupils in Years 9 and 10 now have the option of studying volleyball, with extra curricular clubs running at the school. Joseph Whitaker recently competed in the first volleyball inter school activity against Ashfield School, triumphing 3-2. Four pupils are now competing at Inter Regional Level for the East Midlands Boys Under 15 / 17's.
