My colleague Henry Price, head of Wellington School in Somerset, has every reason to feel offended. He blogged a fortnight ago about his school’s new Department of Sport and Wellbeing, which intelligently brings nutrition, mindfulness and leadership together with the traditional elements of sport (read the blog via http://bit.ly/2fxQlhz).
Wellington School still plays old-fashioned team games. As Mr Price wrote: “Girls and boys still thrive in a team environment and I would not wish to see an element of competition removed from school sport, as long as it is tempered by sportsmanship and a sense of perspective.” So Mr Price was as surprised as his students and parents to then see a headline in the Sunday Times: Zumba puts team games on the bench at top school (http://bit.ly/2feT8Ox).
