Education On Fire - Sharing creative and inspiring learning in our schools 075: Skills4Sport with Alex Dunn
Alex Dunn talks to me about how his experience of teaching PE in schools relates to sport in the community.
Skills4Sport is an established company providing lessons, courses, camps and club facilities in the Northamptonshire area. Running Roade Tennis Club and Nighthawks Badminton Club gives Alex Dunn the ideal base to promote both sports.
Whether you are a complete beginner or an established player, there is always something to learn. Both Clubs provide fun friendly sport with club nights, camps for kids and tours for the adults.

Our aim is to achieve a higher priority for the education of children from birth to 13. High quality learning in the early years of life is vitally important to the creation of an educated society. Young children are not simply preparing for the future, they are living a never to be repeated time of life and the best way to learn is to live.
