We have a close relationship with our local tennis club, Prenton Lawn Tennis Club.  In 2017, Chris Thelwall (Director of Tennis Vision) approached school and offered a number of opportunities. Firstly, we decided to run an after school sports club.

A large number of pupils have signed up to the club over the years. The club is an excellent introduction to tennis for those that are new the sport, but it also ensures that more experienced players are challenged to enhance their existing skills and develop new ones.

Children really enjoy the sessions; they are well planned, engaging and most of all, good fun! Perhaps, the most enjoyable part of the programme has been the chance to go to Prenton LTC in the last week of a 6 week block of sessions. The children absolutely love this! The chance to play on ‘real’ courts and feel like a ‘real’ player is a great thrill.

Prenton LTC have also run tennis roadshows at our school and tennis workshops that have proved very popular.  Prenton LTC and Prenton Primary School have established a successful working relationship and we are both passionate about our link having a legacy. The most pleasing part of our partnership has been that a number of our pupils, having attended the after school club or workshops or roadshows, have then attended holiday camps at Prenton LTC, Fun Friday sessions with their families and some have become full time club members! One little girl’s grandad has become a member after seeing how much his granddaughter was enjoying herself!
