The Euros isn’t the only tournament on at the moment, as the tennis season is getting into full swing in the UK in the build up to Wimbledon.

KS4 Sports group learners from R.E.A.L. Concorde, Woodhouse Road and Hinckley all got the chance to go to the Rothesay Nottingham Tennis Open.

Matthew Waring, Sports Lead at R.E.A.L. said: “It was a fantastic day out for learners who got to see stars such as Dan Evans, who is ranked British number two and US Open winner Emma Raducanu on Centre Court.”

As well as watching tennis, learners were also able to play there too.

Fiona Ryan, Specialist Teaching Assistant at R.E.A.L. said: “We had an incredible time at the Nottingham Open. One learner who is a keen tennis player, had a great time watching and playing tennis.”

Providing students with opportunities to see positive role models and gain cultural enrichment through sport lies at the heart of our work.
