Vision's Special Football Cup
Special Educational Needs schools from Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire and Redcar and Cleveland recently competed in the first Annual football tournament organised by Middlesbrough Supply Teaching Agency Vision for Education.
The event took place at The Southlands Centre in Middlesbrough.
The five teams contested in a mini Europa league style competition, with all teams playing each other resulting in the top two teams having a final play off for the Vision cup.
The final was contested by Ashdale and Parkwood Pupil Referral Units, with Ashdale eventually coming out as worthy winners.
Ashdale received a Sponsored Football Strip and Nintendo Wii for the unit and will play in the Champions strip during next year's competition.
Chris Martin of Vision for Education said ' Vision are delighted to give something back to the alternative education provision of Middlesbrough. We work closely with many schools across the area, inputting into schools is part of our ethos, but the opportunity of inputting here whilst hopefully increasing pupil esteem and self worth was an opportunity we were delighted to embrace'
