On Wednesday 8th February an Inter-Schools Pom Dance Competition took place at Canon Slade School in Bolton. Six different local schools attended and a fantastic afternoon was had by all involved.

The competition was split into two sections: Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4. UKCA Judge Danielle Oddie had the honour of being invited and went to judge the competition along with 4 other judges who all coach local UKCA Cheerleading Squads.

The talent shown over the whole afternoon was very impressive and the spirit of all the cheerleaders throughout the whole competition was phenomenal. All 5 judges agreed in the end that the UKCA Spirit Award for the Bolton Schools Competition should go to Canon Slade, who showed fantastic Cheerleading spirit and gave support to all of the other teams.

UKCA look forward to next year’s competition and hopefully we will see some of the teams again at the UKCA National Schools’ Championships in June.
