Taralee Kennedy, head teacher of St Nicholas-at-Wade school, said the mini golf course is a "joy to have"Earlier this month, the nine-hole course opened at St Nicholas-at-Wade school in Birchington-on-Sea, near Margate.Each hole represents one of the core values of the school which include courage, kindness and honesty.
The course has been incorporated into the curriculum for physical education so pupils from each year group have an opportunity to play. "We get lots of children who might not love football or basketball quite as much but as soon as we got the mini golf, they were straight out wanting to participate," said Sarah Patterson, PE lead and Year four teacher.Each hole is designed to represent one of the different values used in everyday life.
"Resilience for example is a really tricky hole, it's got a wall to jump over and it's hard to get in," said Ms Kennedy."No other school has this. We're really lucky to have a mini golf course at school," he added.Speaking toSchool leaders have said they will open up the course to the community.
