The Beyond the Baseline Tennis Leadership Programme was a unique and inspiring opportunity for our students to develop their leadership skills through sport. Supported by Paralympian Antony Cotterill, the programme focused on building confidence, communication, teamwork, and organisation.

Throughout the programme, students learned how to plan, deliver, and evaluate a series of engaging tennis-based activities. They gained practical experience in leading small groups, managing sessions, and adapting their approach to suit different abilities and needs.

The programme culminated in a fantastic Tennis Festival for our Year 7 students, planned and led entirely by the participants. It was a vibrant and well-run event that showcased the progress and professionalism of our young leaders.

Having the support and inspiration of Antony Cotterill added real value to the experience, encouraging students to aim high and believe in their potential, both on and off the court.
