Football Leweston Prep students have been playing football in the field behind the tennis court. This means at playtime that no one will harm the others with the ball. I have been interviewing people how they got into football and why they like it. One year 5 child said she did it at her old school. A year 6 child said he did it at his old school and he enjoys it because he just thinks it is one of his skills.
