Girls Football October - Half Term Camp
The sessions will take place on the Burgess Park Community Pitches from 10am-3pm on Monday 27th October to Thursday 30th October.
On Wednesday the session will be extended, at no extra cost, until 4pm as we will be collaborating with The Football Foundation as part of their 25 year anniversary supporting grassroots football by providing facilities like Burgess Park Community Pitches. They are even trying to bring the Women's Euros trophy with them.
The camp is a great way to get up to 16 hours of football progress for your daughter in the space of 4 days to accelerate her development.
Each day will consist of 4 hours of football intertwined with breaks and lunch.
You can book single days for £25 per day or sign up for the whole week for £80.
We are looking to fill the final few places only now so if you would like one make sure you book ASAP.

Children Overcoming Domestic Abuse (CODA)
Children Overcoming Domestic Abuse (CODA) Programme is for children and mothers who have experienced domestic abuse. They are now accepting referrals for mothers with children in years 4 and 5 of primary school in September only.
Free English and Maths Tuition
We are a charity that runs free after school English and Maths tuition classes, and we will be running a programme in Perry Vale in partnership with L&Q. Given the location of your school, a lot of your pupils will be eligible for the tuition so we wanted to see if it would be possible to advertise the programme directly to the families.
To give you a little more context, at Tutors United we train and hire university students to provide free English and Maths tuition to pupils in Year 4, 5 and 6. Our tuition is developed by qualified teachers and supports the National Curriculum and runs from 4 – 6pm so it does not interfere with the school day and our programme is fully funded, so it is completely free for families.
