Dear Parent/Guardian

Re: Saturday Morning Sports Club at Spa School.

The Saturday morning club is an excellent opportunity for SEN students in Special Secondary and Primary Schools as well as SEN students in main stream Secondary and Primary Schools across Southwark and is opening again for the third year this November.

The Bacons Schools Sports Partnerships have received funding to be able to continue to offer a Saturday morning Sports Club to be held at Spa School, Monnow Road, SE1 5RN.

The start date this year will be Saturday 20th November 2010 and will run for 10 weeks finishing on Saturday 12th February 2011. There will be no sessions on the 18th, 25th December and the 1st January due to the Christmas holiday period.

Parents/Carers have a several opportunities on the day being:-

·  drop off your child and pick them up at the end of the session

·  stay and watch your child performing the two sports

·  stay and take part in the activities as well

·  stay and use the morning to train in our new gym

·  Use the time as respite

There are two time slots available:-

·  9.45am and finishing at 11.15am

·  11.30am and finishing at 12.45pm.

Both groups run a 45 minute session for both trampolining and gymnastics which is a unique opportunity to access both on the same day. Whilst students are waiting their turn for the trampoline they will have a multi skills circuit for them to be involved with.

There will be a charge of £2 per session. The club will be run in 10 week blocks so the charge for this period will only be £20.

This was the first SEN sports club in Southwark and we hope that you will agree that there is a big need for something like this in our Borough. If you would like to enlist your child to attend the Sports Club please fill in the required Information Sheet with signed permission section and return as soon as possible.

There will be 28 spaces available for each ten week course so the quicker you get your application in the more chance you have of being involved. There will be a waiting list so people who do not get in this time will be top of the list for the next ten week block which will start on 12TH June 2010.

Yours faithfully
