Pupils from Culford School in Bury St Edmunds received a tennis coaching masterclass from Judy Murray, mother of world number four Andy, on 18 November.
The School won the exclusive coaching session after their Senior Girls Team of Katie Ewing, Charlotte Harpur, Tonia Nelskamp and Jessica Silva were crowned champions in the AEGON Team Tennis Schools Senior Student Finals, held in Bolton in March.
Assisting Judy at Culford was British number 14 and Team AEGON player, Georgie Gent from Cambridgeshire. The 22-year-old, part of the elite group of British players, was on hand to pass on some top tennis tips of her own.
A total of 20 Culford tennis scholars and players took part in the master class, which was held in Culford’s stunning new Indoor Tennis Centre on 18 November. The coaching session was followed by a question and answer session and autographs.
Headmaster Julian Johnson-Munday commented: 'Our pupils performed superbly and we are very proud of their achievements. It is wonderful to see their success rewarded with a master class from Judy Murray which, I’m sure, was an inspiration to them and, indeed, to the coaching team here.'
The School’s Director of Tennis, David Hall, went on to explain: 'Culford’s tennis programme continues to go from strength to strength and we are keen to encourage talented players to come and study full time here, whilst receiving tennis coaching at a very high level. I know that Judy’s visit today and the skills she has imparted will be a real boost to the team.'
