We were absolutely thrilled to welcome two inspirational GB Athletes into school on 13th May. We welcomed Ryan Raghoo, a T36 para-athlete long jumper, who has cerebral palsy. He is the current British and former World Champion, and is also the British record holder and World junior record holder. He is an exceptional team GB athlete who has overcome many setbacks in life. Our second guest athlete, team GB 110m hurdler Rob Sakala is a top team GB international and with lots of experience coaching, he was a real hit on the sports fields with our Year 7 & 8 P.E. classes.

They both shared their fascinating stories with several Year 9 groups during their busy timetable and we are confident they inspired our students with their positive messages of resilience and determination.

Thank you to our KS3 P.E. Coordinator, Mrs Pritchard, for organising this fabulous visit.
