Opening School Facilities with Herons' Moor Academy

Описание: We’ve been working with Herons’ Moor Academy in Weston-super-Mare who’ve accessed funding from the Department for Education via Wesport as part of the Opening School Facilities fund.

Each week the school will open their facilities for us to run 2 clubs on 2 spectate nights. The aim is for our Future Stars coaches to provide fun and engaging sessions for children each week - and then once a term we bring in an extra special enrichment opportunity for the children. This term we had the team from Weston Tae Kwon Do club come in and put the children through their paces. At the end of the session everyone got a certificate and a pathway to more local Tae Kwon Do sessions.

The support from the Opening School Facilities fund has been phenomenal. We’ve got the expertise of Chris Knight who’s a project officer at Wesport - and then Shane HawkinGs who is the Herons Moor school business manager. The project is well rounded, with targeted groups getting the opportunity to take part each week - and then the excitement of special enrichment (like the Tae Kwon Do) in addition to the pathway created to further activity and recreation. The whole project has been a massive success and we’re looking forward to continuing it further.
