Bury School Sports Partnership and Funtime Activites joined forces to hold trials for the teamBury Cheerleading squad in May. With over 45 girls aged 12-16 in attendance it was finally decided that 12 performers from Woodhey, Tottington and Castlebrook High Schools would form the team. Cheerleading is a fantastic combination of dance and gymanstics and is a great way to exercise and stay healthy. Already delivered in a number of schools in Bury but with an ever increasing demand more opportunities will be made available throughout the Borough.
