Primary school staff brushed up on their tennis skills at a training event in Baildon.

Two dozen teachers were at Titus Salt School to study for the Key Stage 1 and 2 Teacher’s Award to become tennis coaches.

The award is funded by the Lawn Tennis Association and is run through the Beckfoot School Sports Partnership. Their training will prepare them to teach the sport to primary school children and each school involved in the programme receives £600 of equipment, including a supply of tennis balls, racquets, nets and coaching DVDs.

The school hopes to run similar training for secondary school staff in the new year.
