❤️🏐Amex netball super shot fund success!🏐❤️

We are delighted to share that Miss Horner has successfully secured funding through the Amex netball super shot fund after submitting a bid at the end of the summer term.

The fund grows each time a player scores from the super shot zone in a Netball Super League match and is designed to enhance netball provision and raise the profile of the sport.⭐

We are incredibly proud that out of 357 applications, only 24 schools nationwide were successful - and our school is one of them!

This funding will help us continue to provide exciting netball opportunities both in and out of school.🫶

We are extremely grateful and appreciative of this award. A huge thank you to Nottingham Forest Netball, whose super shots generated our funding allocation.
