On Thursday 17th July, the Cobblers Study Centre held its end of term presentation evening in the Sixfields Stadium. The presentation evening gave an opportunity to over one hundred parents and teachers to celebrate the success of young learners who had taken part in the Playing for Success scheme.

The Study Centre uses the environment and medium of football as a motivational tool to help raise literacy, numeracy and ICT standards amongst KS2 and KS3 pupils throughout Northamptonshire.

This presentation evening was particularly notable as it was the first to include children from Daventry schools that had attended the Study Centre for the first time. These schools were The Grange, Ashby Fields, Southbrook Junior, Falconers Hill and Raeburn.

The presentation evening included a showing of photos of the children at work over the last ten weeks. Three representative of the Cobblers Youth Team assisted Study Centre Manager Jean Limpitlaw in presenting certificates and football goody bags to participants of the scheme. The youth players also posed for photographs and signed autographs. The young learners were also treated to a surprise visit from the official Cobblers mascot Clarence.

Congratulations to everyone who has taken part in the Playing for Success scheme this year. All staff at the Study Centre are looking forward to kicking off a new term in September.
