Eleven students from Thomas Becket R.C. Secondary School began their Transition programme today. The students will be coming to the Saints Sudy Centre for five days over the next three weeks to improve their key skills in numeracy, literacy and ICT as well as learning new rugby skills delivered by the Club’s Community coach Blair Hartley.

Activities will include making a name badge, origami sports kits and completing maths puzzles on-line. This is  followed by a Maths workshop delivered by Sarah Mason, an AST teacher from Sir Christopher Hatton School, a Shakespeare workshop and a Circus skills workshop, both of which will act as a stimulus for literacy work. Finally, the group will be taken on a behind the scenes  stadium tour which will engage the youngsters in completing a literacy/ICT piece of work on their experiences.

A group of Year 3 boys from Hunsbury Park Primary School visited the Study Centre today (Jeanette’s birthday!!) and experienced a behind the scenes tour of Franklin’s Gardens. They learnt about the history of the Saints and visited the changing rooms, ran out the tunnel as if they were a Saints player and viewed all the trophies in the Sturtridge Pavillion.

On their return to the Study Centre an amazing array of cakes were sampled by the group to celebrate Jeanette’s 60th -  Oops sorry 50th birthday!! Jeanette says, “ Thanks for the card and prezzie boys!”

The boys answered a questionairre with their mentors whilst on the tour. Well done Zoe and Helena!!
