A school in Cardiff now has a purpose-built esports room
Pupils at a school in Cardiff will be able to play Overwatch 2, League of Legends and Minecraft competitively in schools, as part of a plan to boost their academic, technical, and personal skills which teachers say will help teach transferable skills ready to start their careers. They will be able to use the space, before, during and after school and some will be able to choose esports as an option from year 9. Cardiff council has given Mary Immaculate High School in Caerau, Cardiff, £130,000 to kit out a room with 25 gaming PCs and two Formula 1 simulators. Students can also study esports as part of the Key Stage 4, with a BTEC in esports being offered from Year 9 to pupils who have an attendance record of at least 90%.

The esports industry is rapidly growing as gaming becomes more popular, making £3.5 billion globally, and £184 million in the UK. Adam Speight, acting assistant headteacher at Mary Immaculate, said esports is much more than just gaming. He said: "Esports is opening doors to a wide range of career pathways. "For example, the military is actively recruiting gamers to operate drones, the events industry needs people to organise large-scale esports tournaments, and the technology sector requires IT professionals to build and maintain the infrastructure needed for these events to take place. "We are proud to be one of the first schools in Wales – and indeed the UK – to have a purpose-built facility dedicated to esports. "We recognised the importance of this fast-growing industry and decided it should be part of our curriculum. "We have to move away from thinking about traditional subjects to thinking what careers are out there in the modern world and what contemporary qualifications are available that will give pupils the transferable skills they need for the jobs of the future." As well as being an extra-curricular area for pupils, the main aim is to support learning in areas such as teamwork, communication, strategic thinking, digital literacy, and event management. The Esports suite was developed by YoyoTech. Michael Stevens, business development executive at YoyoTech, said: "Esports is a huge area for growth in education. "It's a lot more than teaching pupils how to be a professional gamer; it's teaching them about the industry and everything that goes with it, from digital media creation and social media to marketing and event management."

Oti Mabuse ‘delighted' as she receives Freedom of the City of London
Former Strictly Come Dancing professional Oti Mabuse has received the Freedom of the City of London. The 34-year-old South African has been recognised for her 'significant achievements in contemporary dance and her charitable work'. She has had a successful dancing career, winning the South African Latin American championships eight times and is one of the most successful professionals to have appeared on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, having won the show two years in a row. To be following in the footsteps of legends of the arts and entertainment industry, including Sir Matthew Bourne, Dame Judi Dench, Sir Cameron Mackintosh, Giles Terera, and Strictly's very own Len Goodman, feels quite remarkable Mabuse, who attended a ceremony at Guildhall with family and friends on Wednesday, said: 'I am delighted to have received the Freedom of the City of London for my dance and charitable work, and I am very grateful to Chris Hayward and Keith Bottomley for nominating me. 'To be following in the footsteps of legends of the arts and entertainment industry, including Sir Matthew Bourne, Dame Judi Dench, Sir Cameron Mackintosh, Giles Terera, and Strictly's very own Len Goodman, feels quite remarkable.' Mr Hayward is the policy chairman of the City of London Corporation, while Mr Bottomley is the sheriff-elect of the City of London. Former Strictly head judge Goodman died in 2023 aged 78. Mabuse won Strictly in 2019 and 2020 and has also appeared on The Greatest Dancer as a dance captain and as a judge on ITV's Dancing on Ice. Mr Hayward said: 'Having won a clutch of dance titles during her career and a place in our hearts, mostly, down to her appearances on the hugely popular 'Strictly', I am sure that Oti's Freedom will be welcomed warmly by her many admirers. 'Away from the dance world, her work with Unicef to raise awareness of the support needed by premature babies and their mothers, is highly commendable, and I am very happy to join my colleague, Keith Bottomley, in nominating Oti for the Freedom.' Mr Bottomley said: 'As well as impressing us on the dance floor, Oti Mabuse's charitable work with women and young people in communities across London, and overseas with Unicef, deserves our admiration and respect. 'It has been a pleasure to nominate Oti to be admitted into the Freedom, and I am sure that she will have very happy memories of today for many years to come.' The tradition of the freedom of the city is believed to date back to 1237. Past recipients include comedian, actor and writer Sir Lenny Henry and Lady Mary Peters, who won an Olympic gold medal in the athletics pentathlon in 1972, as well as Sir Chris Hoy and his wife, Lady Sarra Hoy.
