Our ref JO/DMB 16th March 2016 Dear Parents and Carers POMPEY IN THE COMMUNITY Portsmouth Football Club are involved in a project which combines education with sport. The aim of the project is to raise the attainment of young people and to boost their motivation and aspirations. Portsmouth Football Club have once again approached Oaklands to invite us to participate in the scheme. The school has been allocated places for a maximum of twenty four students for the Autumn Term sessions for Years 7, 8 and 9. The scheme involves students attending an after-school study session combined with some football coaching at Oaklands on a Wednesday from 3.45pm 5.00pm. The session will – be run by a coach from the club. The students will spend half the session in JP block and the second half playing football (provided they have successfully completed the classroom based activities that evening). The workshops and the football coaching is provided by Adam Browne from Pompey in the Community. He is DBS checked, has First Aid and Child Protection training and holds fully qualified coaching badges. This course will last for a ten week block, commencing on April 13th and finishing on June 22nd (excluding May half term) The cost of the activity will be no more than £21 provided at least 12 students sign up. Payments can be made by cash, cheque (made payable to Oaklands Catholic School) or via the online payment system and once a child is allocated a place on this activity, parents and carers will be notified with a final confirmation of cost. As this activity is deemed to be an enhancement to the curriculum, the school normally is unable to offer financial assistance and therefore the full cost of the activity must be borne by yourselves. However, for this activity only, parents who are in receipt of Income Support or Child Tax Credit or Job Seekers Allowance or support under part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 are asked to write to the Head in confidence to make the Governors and Head aware of their situation. Pupil Premium students will have their place on this activity fully funded.
