Schools Football
News:
St Peters School in Southbourne have recently been awarded the FA Charterd Standard Award for the best football development programme of all the schools within the Soouth West.
The Charter Standard for Schools programme is a kite marking scheme that establishes minimum standards of football development in schools. It is also a means by which good practice is recognised and will raise standards by sharing this good practice.
This is a great achievement for the school and now sets the standards for the rest of the schools in the Borough will have to follow.
