From Lansdown Tennis, Squash & Croquet Club:
The Lansdown Tennis, Squash & Croquet Club in Bath is delighted to have formed a new relationship with Weston All Saints CE Primary School (WASPS), Bath, through the Club’s Lansdown Foundation.
Once a week, the Club welcomes eight pupils from WASPS, a mix of Year 5 and Year 6 girls and boys, for an hour-long fun coaching session with one of the Club’s coaches. Most of the children, who are all pupil-premium eligible, had never played any tennis or picked up a tennis racket before.
PE Coordinator, Jordan Taylor commented:
‘I’ve been really impressed by the progress the pupils have made in just a few months with their tennis skills. They really look forward to the tennis session every week at Lansdown and it’s been a highlight of the week for everyone. It’s great to see these children enjoying being active, learning new skills and starting to play with increasing confidence. It’s fantastic that they are being given this opportunity and we are very grateful to Lansdown Tennis, Squash & Croquet Club and its members!’
Club Manager, Stephanie Bryan, added:
‘The Lansdown Foundation was set up to build stronger links within the community and to be able to provide tennis coaching and facilities for WASPS in this way is a great first step. The children have come on in leaps and bounds in such a short amount of time – it’s great to see – and we’re looking forward to this collaboration continuing for many years to come!’
