Why choose fencing? Fencing can be

taken as a serious competitive sport, fitness regime or a recreational hobby. Fencing improves flexibility, reflexes, speed and agility that provide all-round mental and physical exercise essential for total health and wellness. Fencing is a fantastic way to introduce children to respect and sportsmanship in a competitive environment, through

individual and team exercises and competitions. Our activities aim to develop and improve an individual’s confidence, self-esteem, physical agility, social skills and fitness.

Why choose Paul Davis Fencing Academy?

“Paul Davis Fencing Academy is a fencing family” – we create environments that

foster friendship, respect, hard work and reward success. We create sessions that

are fun, engaging, energetic and provide a service that is the same for all. We use

fencing as a tool to develop a child’s wellbeing and contribution to their local

community. Fencing is a cross-curricula sport that utilises skills sets like Maths,

English, French, analytical ability, communication, fair play and leadership to

name but a few along with healthy living and regular exercise.

Heath Mount Scuba Club

Seal Team

This is a fun course that will give your child an introduction to Scuba diving using specially designed equip-

ment for easy use for young divers. This course is available for all children of 8+. The cost for this course is

£240 per term and there is an addition charge of £40 for the manual for new members.

Padi Open Water Referral

This course is made up of practical sessions in the pool, learning the skills to become an open water diver.

Children will also be required to cover some theory work. This is now done online https://apps.padi.com/

scuba-diving/elearning/ and allows us more time to work on skills in the water. That is open to children aged 10+. The cost of this course is £180 + the online registration fee. All participants must complete the Acknowledgement of Risk and medical statements that will be sent to you

once your choice of course has been made. Children will not be able to use the scuba equipment unless the

necessary forms have been completed.

For all children that are qualified we try to run fun sessions on a Sunday morning each month, to practise

and improve their skills.
