ALP Schools Paddleboarding

Thanks to funding from Paddle UK –  and with potential further investment from the Duke of Edinburgh Awards –  ALP Schools had 6 staff members pass their level 1 Stand Up Paddle Instructor course last weekend!

Training was delivered by the team at Mote Park Watersports centre –  From the spring term we will be introducing ALP Schools Paddle Club, with learners in every ALP school having the opportunity to either:

– Have taster sessions in Stand Up Paddle 

– Work towards their Paddle Start, Paddle Discover and Paddle Explore Awards

– Use Stand Up Paddle as their new skills in working towards their Duke of Edinburgh Award
