Parkwood Academy opened a new community fitness suite at the school in January. 27-year-old Sheffield welterweight boxer Kell Brook officially opened the new sports centre at the high school he once attended as a pupil. Brook said: “I was really happy to be a part of the official opening. I’ve grown up here, I used to go to this school and I think it’s great that they’ve built something that will genuinely help the community for years to come”.

The £80,000 development facility has created several new jobs for local people and aims to be part of helping to regenerate the area.

Paul Howard, Parkwood Academy Community Coordinator said:

“We see this as a partnership exercise and the fact that we can offer this to the community reinforces the bond we have with them. As the school grows, so the community will.”

People can become members of the Parkwood Academy Sports Centre for the introductory offer of £10 per month (Normal price £14 per month, £10 concession -OAP and Students) For more information call the school on 0114 231 0221 or email sports@parkwoodacademy.org.uk.
