With the number of home educated children in Norfolk rising, Norwich City Community Sports Foundation is launching a new physical education programme at The Nest, which will take place every Monday between 11am-12pm. This initiative is designed to meet the growing demand for structured, high-quality physical activity tailored to home learners.
The programme will officially begin in the New Year, though it will be introduced to families at Norfolk County Council’s Family Drop-In Event on Friday 14th November at The Nest. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet our team and learn more about the offering in person.
Sessions will be available at £5 each, with the option to book a 12-week block for £60 (exclusive of booking fees). You can confirm your place by booking on Abler below.
