Multi Use Games Area


As part of the ongo­ing upgrade to the facil­it­ies at Friends’ School there is now a Multi Use Games Area open and ready for use.  Sarah Craven from the Sir James Reckitt Char­ity, whose gener­ous dona­tion has allowed the build­ing of the new all year round, flood­lit sports facil­ity, visited Friends’ School to offi­cially open the Multi Use Games Area. A team of Year 6 pupils from Friends’ Junior School played a game of 5 a-side foot­ball against Year 7 which was followed by Sarah Craven turn­ing on the lights.

As part of the open­ing celeb­ra­tions, Great Easton Primary School, along with some pupils from the Junior School atten­ded a coach­ing session with Friends’ special­ist sports teach­ers and a number of the school’s county hockey play­ers on the new surface.

“We are thrilled to have a new outdoor sports area which our pupils will be able to util­ise through­out the coming winter months. With its excel­lent flood­light­ing, the facil­ity is prov­ing very popu­lar with both Junior and Senior School pupils during after school train­ing sessions. We are most grate­ful to the Sir James Reckitt Char­ity for help­ing fund the new pitch.”
