Tennis Foundation - Schools Tennis Strategy – online survey

From Tom Gibbins , Education Manager, Tennis Foundation

As you may know, we are currently in the process of developing a comprehensive Schools Tennis Strategy, which will provide support to Primary, Secondary and Special Schools.

We are keen to ensure that any programme or resource developed provides appropriate support and to assist with this process, a number of online surveys have been created to capture the views of people involved in the education sector, including pupils.

The online surveys, which specifically focus on Secondary Schools Tennis, can be accessed as follows:

Secondary Schools Tennis Survey – STAFF

Secondary Schools Tennis Survey – PUPIL
  

It would be much appreciated if you could take a few minutes to complete the survey yourself and also forward on to and encourage colleagues (Your Competition Managers, PDMs, Directors of Specialisms, SSCOs, Heads of PE and PE Teachers etc) to complete also. You will note that in addition to the survey for staff to complete, there is also a version for pupils.

The surveys run until Friday 25^th July 2008, however, all respondents who complete the Staff Survey before 5pm on Wednesday 18th June will be entered into a prize draw to win one of 3 Prize Packages, as follows:

1. 10 Wimbledon Ground Passes for Thursday 3rd July 2008, for 8 pupils and 2 members of staff.

2. Equipment Pack

3. Equipment Pack

Your input into the surveys will be vital to the development of this work and we very much appreciate your involvement.

If you have any queries about this survey, please contact The Tennis Foundation via: info@tennisfoundation.org.uk / 0845 872 0522.

Kind regards,
Tom
