Year 6 visit to Wimbledon

Some lucky Year 6 pupils visited Wimbledon for the final Thursday of the tennis championships. Although there was a lot of interest, we could only obtain 8 tickets in the ballot. Those selected were accompanied by Mr Weights and Mrs Dawber on the 7.30am train from Selby. We watched doubles matched on Court No 1 and had the chance to try some tennis activities with coaches in the Play Tennis tent before returning via crowded Tube and overland trains back to school for 11pm. It was a long, but brilliantly memorable day which we hope will inspire our pupils to take up tennis themselves.
We were very proud of all our children, and their behaviour was complimented by members of the public – well done everyone!
