We continue to try to expand our involvement in table tennis, one of our core PE sports. We have made contact with Table Tennis England who have sent out a regional official to have a look at what we’re doing. Going forward, we aim to be part of the Table Tennis England Hub, based at Carlton le Willows. TTE are undertaking to support us with coaching, resources and talent identification. We hope to be playing some competitive table tennis next year, with teams and individuals on the pathways to national level competition. It’s all potentially very exciting, particularly with amazing facility at C le W, where there is even a table tennis scholarship route into their 6th form!
Other than PE lessons for all children, we are currently focussing on a development group of Year 5s who come in to train before school, early on Wednesday mornings; the progress these are making is fantastic to see, other than the fact that lots of them can already give me (Mr H) a solid beating!
