Lacrosse Foundation's Generous Grant

Thanks to a generous grant from The Lacrosse Foundation, we have received 60 high-quality lacrosse sticks and 4 goals. This support has allowed us to introduce lacrosse as a core part of our PE curriculum for years 5 and 6. We pride ourself on providing all pupils with opportunities to play a variety of sports to encourage health and happiness while helping them discover a passion they can carry with them for life.

Lacrosse has been growing in popularity at our school over the past few years. The journey began in 2021 when Richmond Lacrosse Club started an after-school lacrosse program. The club quickly gained popularity, and each year, our pupils have had the opportunity to compete in matches and tournaments against other local primary schools. Veronica, a former pupil and player at Richmond Lacrosse Club, shared her love for the sport during a school assembly which encouraged even more pupils to join the after-school club.

Scotland Lacrosse players Isabella and Grace Penny visited our school this January to help kick-start our year 5 lacrosse programme, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter. Followed by Sam Perry from Richmond Lacrosse who taught the pupils over the course of six weeks. The children made phenomenal progress, mastering foundational skills such as passing, catching, scooping, and running with the ball. These efforts brought a new level of excitement to lacrosse at our school.

We are grateful for the Lacrosse Foundation's generous grant, which has made all this possible. We want to thank Isabella and Grace Penny, and Sam Perry for their support. We hope many of our pupils will continue to play and enjoy lacrosse long into the future.
