ASC Reading Success Story Spotlight 

Our Participant Stories: English Martyrs Catholic Primary School

The English Martyrs Catholic Primary School take part in the Aiming High Community Sailing Programme at our Andrew Simpson Centre – Reading.

This weekly club, part funded by Children in Need, helps children from 6 – 13 years of age with a special educational need who ordinarily would not have the opportunity to participate in outdoor and on-water activities.

“These sessions are such a thrilling adventure for our children and they always return to school full of stories and enthusiasm. Children that are normally very anxious are surprising us with their sudden adaptability. They can’t wait to come back each week” – Louise Sullivan, SENCO, English Martyrs Catholic School, Reading
