Seer Green Skippers
Seer Green Skippers, formed in May 2008, is a community club based at Seer Green CE School. The club has been formed to build on the skills already demonstrated by members of the school and to give a similar opportunity to all ages within the local community.
In October 2006 the school received a visit from National Skipping Workshops, an organisation which promotes skipping as an inclusive activity in schools all over the UK. An explosion of interest, driven by a group of Year 5 girls, took place to the point that the school became one of the top competitive skipping schools in the UK. By the time the 6 girls left Year 6 in July 2008, they had developed their skills to a very high standard and were deemed the top UK school skipping team.
The club is run and supervised by Ken McIntosh, Deputy Head and year 6 teacher and Andrea Branscombe, mother of Tiffany, our oldest and most experienced member, with Laura Summers coaching the Saturday sessions.

We are very lucky that Laura has agreed to coach our Saturday sessions. She is one of the most highly qualified coaches and judges in the UK and a veteran of several European and World Championships.
She has been skipping since the age of six at the Blue and White Rope Skippers, headed by Sue Dale of the British Rope Skipping Association.
