09 Jul PRIMARY STARS PARTNER SCHOOLS BENEFIT FROM SPORTS DAY SUPPORT
The Huddersfield Town Foundation is delighted to be supporting sports days across Kirklees as part of its Premier League Primary Stars programme!
Before the end of the summer term Foundation coaches will have helped facilitate seven sports days, using their experience to deliver high quality activities.
One of those schools is Field Lane Junior, Infant and Nursery in Batley, whose students are pictured in the images below.
Across the day at Field Lane children from Years 3, 4, 5 & 6 enjoyed a range of sports including football, volleyball, skateboarding and badminton. It was a real pleasure to see plenty of smiley faces throughout.
On the impact of the Town Foundation’s delivery Sarah Walton, PE Coordinator and teacher at Field Lane, commented:
“We’ve worked with the Town Foundation for quite a few years now and Ruby and the team have helped with so many things: from PE delivery and teacher CPD to encouraging our students to read and delivering workshops on values.
“When they’re in school us teachers can go and help students who need that extra push.
“I would recommend the programme to all other local schools and think it’s a good use of sport premium money – our children are really active and enjoy every session.â€
The Maple class showed so much resilience in the sack race. Even some of the adults had fun having a go at this race. #SportsDayatOrchard #PEatOrchard @OrchardPrimaryA pic.twitter.com/X1vuytnISU
