Last week, our Phase 3 students took part in the KSENT Games at Medway Park in Gillingham, representing Milestone with enthusiasm.

It was a great opportunity for our students to experience a festival of different inclusive sports, organised by Kent School Games and the KSENT special school network.

188 young people from more than 19 different SEN schools across the county took part in the large-scale event.

Milestone students, led by a fantastic team of specialist trainers and coaches (experts in their respective sports discipline), enjoyed taking part in judo, wheelchair basketball, adapted tennis, table top cricket and boxing. Our students’ efforts were a joy to observe as they showed dedication through every event.

It was a brilliant day and a thoroughly enjoyable  inclusive event, tailored perfectly to the needs of the different groups taking part. We thank the organisers for giving us the opportunity to experience a marvellous day of sports.

This image depicts an active game of wheelchair basketball. Two individuals in wheelchairs are actively playing, one appearing to defend and the other potentially preparing to shoot or dribble. Another person is shooting a basketball towards a hoop, while an adult stands in the background watching. This reinforces the theme of wheelchair basketball.
Three young people are on a green sports court with various lines. The person in the center is holding a tennis racket with an orange, textured ball on it, and there are other sports equipment like a tennis racket and small balls on the floor. This seems to be a general sports or skill-building activity, possibly related to racket sports or hand-eye coordination drills.
A young person in a wheelchair is sitting on a basketball court, holding a multicolored basketball. Another adult is partially visible to the left. This suggests participation in wheelchair sports.

This image appears to show two people, an adult woman and a young person, engaged in an activity that looks like a modified form of table tennis or a similar tabletop game. The young person, wearing glasses and a white t-shirt, is positioned at a blue table with white lines, which resembles a ping-pong table. Their right arm is extended towards the table, and they are looking towards the right side of the frame. An adult woman, wearing a light-colored top and what looks like a lanyard, is standing behind and slightly to the left of the young person, with her hand on their shoulder. She seems to be offering guidance or support. There's a red ball visible on the table, and to the left, there's a green and white structure that might be part of the game setup, possibly a ramp or a guide for the ball. Another person's arm is partially visible on the far left, suggesting more participants. The setting appears to be a gymnasium or a large indoor space with a green wall in the background.
This image shows three young people engaging in a boxing-related activity. Two individuals, a young woman and a young man, are wearing boxing gloves and are facing each other with their gloved hands up, as if sparring or practicing a drill. Another young man in the background is smiling and watching them. There are cones and markings on the floor, suggesting a structured training environment.
This picture shows three individuals on a blue and yellow mat, which is characteristic of a judo or martial arts dojo. The person on the right is an adult male wearing a white judo gi with "ORGEE GBR" on the back, suggesting a coach or instructor. He is facing a young man who is also wearing a gi (or partially wearing one). A young woman with a long braid is standing to the left, also in a gi, and appears to be receiving instruction or getting ready to practice with the young man. This looks like a judo training session.
this image takes place on a judo mat with multiple participants in white judo gi. In the foreground, an adult woman with blonde hair tied in a bun, wearing a gi with a black belt (indicating a high rank, likely an instructor), is instructing or demonstrating something to two young men. All three are facing each other, and the instructor's hands are on the gi of one of the young men, demonstrating a grip or technique. Other participants are visible in the background, also in gi. This confirms a judo training session is in progress, with instruction being given.
