This term has seen the start of the West Lane trampolining club.The club runs for an hour after school on a Friday and has been possible due to the fantastic fundraising efforts of the Friends of West Lane, who raised £2.500 to buy a state of the art new trampoline for our school. The club is initially open to Year 6 pupils but should be available to Year 4 and Year 5 pupils later in the year. The first group of children had their final session this week and they all said that they had had a thoroughly enjoyable 5 weeks, as you can see from the photos below and in the extended entry! So we'd all like to say a great big thank you to "The Friends"
