regular Link Club Activities for Y6 pupils from
our feeder primary schools, under the guidance
of Mr. R. Wilby (SSCO), who has established
strong links with our feeder primary schools
through the local School Sports Programme.
Links have been established with local Sports
Clubs including Crosfield JFC and Whittle Hall
JFC and it is school policy to develop these
still further.
