Fitness & Community Engagement at the Denis Healy Centre

At TPL, we are committed to providing pupils with high-quality opportunities that go beyond the classroom. As part of our enrichment programme, we use the Denis Healy Centre, a well-established community hub in the heart of Seacroft.

 

Fitness Training in a Professional Gym

Pupils have access to a fully operational fitness suite, where they are guided through structured training sessions. These sessions develop:

• Physical fitness and health

• Knowledge of safe and effective training methods

• Confidence in using gym equipment

• Self-discipline and resilience

​

Sport in the Sports Hall

After fitness, pupils take part in a variety of team games and sports in the Centre’s sports hall. These sessions build:

• Teamwork and communication

• Tactical awareness and skill development

• A positive approach to competition and fair play

​

Community Engagement

The Denis Healy Centre is more than just a venue for sport, it is a community hub. By accessing this space, pupils see firsthand the importance of community involvement, shared spaces, and positive role models. They learn about:

• Respect for community facilities

• Building positive relationships beyond school

• The role of sport and fitness in local life

​

Our Approach

This partnership reflects our restorative ethos at TPL: we value connection, respect, and growth. Pupils benefit not only from improved health and wellbeing but also from experiences that strengthen their ties to the local community.
