A secondary school in Leeds might soon see the addition of a more unusual sports court on its grounds as it hopes to give students access to a “specialised sport” as part of its curriculum.

The Farnley Academy has submitted a full planning application for the construction of a 900 square metre beach volleyball court on an existing , currently unusable, sports pitch. In the supporting design and access statement, the Academy revealed that it would like to introduce beach volleyball to the curriculum and have the opportunity to work closely with Volleyball England, the sports national governing body.
