AbbeyfieldToday Year Seven pupils from Abbeyfield School  took part in a reward day at the Cobblers Study Centre courtesy of Barclaycard.

Five members of staff from Barclaycard Northampton attended the Study Centre as part of their Barclaycard Community work to to mentor the young learners  from Abbeyfield who were taking part in the day.  The students from Abbeyfield School participate in the “Double Club” scheme based within school.  The Double Club scheme uses sport as a vehicle for learning and engagement in the curriculum.   They were rewarded with a trip to the Cobblers Study Centre for their hard work throughout last term.  Activities at the Study Centre included a tour of the Sixfields Stadium,  Stadium  Orienteering and a practical football session with NTFC Community Coach Steve.  The final task of the afternoon was to create a comic strip outlining all the activities that they had taken part in throughout the day.  All students were rewarded with a goody bag at the end of the day that contained match tickets and other Cobblers Study Centre merchandise.

Thank you to all the Barclaycard Staff who volunteered their time and the Students who were enthusiastic and worked well all day.
