Let’s play!

Ahead of its October Open Day, Hunstanton’s Glebe
House School has unveiled plans to launch a new
Sports Academy
September, school’s in, and for pupils at Glebe House School there are
new opportunities with the launch of a new Sports Academy. Working
under the motto, ‘Excellence and Enjoyment’, the academy will be led
by the school’s head of sport, Jon Turner, and will offer bespoke
coaching for children in a wide range of sports.

During a pilot of the academy during the summer term of the
2016/17 academic year, children enjoyed sailing lessons at Snettisham
Sailing Club and golf tuition from PGA professional Ray Stocker at
Searles Leisure Resort and Heacham Manor Golf Course. Coaching
in rugby, hockey and football will take place during the autumn term,
with tuition from a range of expert trainers.
“Our Sports Development Programme (SDP) aims to offer bespoke
training and development for our most talented athletes and focus on
the key skills of each sport,” says Jon. “Dedicated sessions will focus
on tactical understanding and decision-making which, combined with
fun and personal goal development will help children to achieve new
levels of sporting excellence.”
“Glebe House School has a long history of sporting achievement,”
says the school’s headmaster, John Crofts, “and we have always
worked hard to ensure that each child is given the opportunity to
regularly play as a member of our sports’ teams.
“The new Sports Academy will support pupils with a keen interest
and ability, and provide children with the chance to try new and
challenging sports and activities. Glebe House School offers a range
of sports scholarships and awards and at our next Open Day on 14
October we will be delighted to meet parents, guardians and coaches
who feel their children have the potential to excel here.”
