• Football Fun Factory

  Fri 28 Mar 2025

  Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming coaches from Football Fun Factory to our school. Every class had the opportunity to participate in an engaging and enjoyable football session.

  As part of #LetGirlsPlay Day, a national campaign dedicated to breaking down barriers for girls in football, the coaches structured sessions to provide equal opportunities for both boys and girls. The enthusiasm from our pupils was fantastic, with many already asking when we can invite the coaches back!

  Well done to all the children for demonstrating such a positive attitude throughout the sessions.
