Over the last few months, a number of our Year 9 GCSE PE pupils have been participating in a tennis programme delivered by The Youth Sport Trust called ‘Beyond the Baseline’. The programme aims to use tennis to help young people fulfill their potential, gain confidence and develop their leadership skills through tennis. Our programme mentor and ex-tennis star was Jessica W who has been fantastic, and the Year 9 pupils have enjoyed working closely with her throughout their programme.

The final session was on Friday 15th July and saw our Year 9 GCSE pupils deliver their coaching to 7 Caesitas, which was very successful. The Year 7’s showed great enthusiasm and enjoyed the session. Mr Suter was very proud of his GCSE PE pupils who showed great professionalism, resilience and positivity throughout the whole enrichment course. It was lovely to see the Year 9 Pupils sharing their knowledge with the Year 7 pupils.

We look forward to more tennis sessions, games and activities next summer!
