New Multi Sports Pitches on Normanton Park!
The local community in Normanton, Derby, will have access to a unique new small-sided multi-sport pitch, thanks to £180,000 funding from the Premier League, The FA and Government’s Football Foundation…
PlayZones are safe, inclusive and accessible facilities to play football and a whole range of other sports and physical activities, which are designed with and shaped by the communities using them.
Located in Normanton Park, this PlayZone will be run by Sporting Communities, a not-for-profit Community Interest Company which provided £35,000 towards the project alongside an additional £25,000 contribution from Derby City Council.
To make sure the new facilities are designed in a way that works for the needs and preferences of the local community, Sporting Communities gathered the views of more than 200 local residents representing a cross-section of the community, including people from a variety of ages and backgrounds.
Based on the findings of this consultation, the pitch will host football, cricket, netball, touch rugby, quick-stick hockey and dodgeball. Across these sports and activities, the facility is expected to be used by more than 1,500 people within five years of opening. A local primary school will also use the PlayZone for 10 hours a week as currently the school has no on-site PE facilities for its 600 students.
World Book Day 2024

Dear parents and caregivers,
World Book Day will take place on Thursday 7 March.
We will have lots of fun activities taking place throughout the day to help the children become independent readers.
We will be using World Book Day as a way to share our favourite books. One of the ways we will be doing this is by asking the children to come dressed up as a character from a book that they own or have read.
• We encourage you to use things you already have at home and we will be looking out for the most creative homemade costumes.
• If you have a copy of the book for children to bring in with them, this would be a great opportunity for them to share it with their Friends. Please remember to write their name on the inside.

At the end of the day children will receive a book token to get a FREE book.
• Getting a free £1 book for your child is easy - simply take your £1 book token to your nearest bookseller and swap it for a World Book Day £1 book OR get £1 off any book or audiobook costing £2.99 or more. You can find your nearest bookseller at:
worldbookday.com/participating-retailers
We’re very much looking forward to celebrating World Book Day, which could not happen without the support of parents and carers - thank you!
Mr Decrean
