The school with its own Esports Arena

Available for over a year

When you think back to your games lessons at school, you probably imagine a football, cricket or hockey match - with the most expensive piece of kit being a slightly deflated ball. But at Countesthorpe Academy students are getting stuck into a world class games facility with a difference, a 26 seat Esports Arena. It's not just for fun either, as the school is offering qualifications in this rapidly growing industry. BBC Leicester's resident gamer Matt Smith has been for a look around.
