Olympic Events

On Wednesday 25^th April we launched our summer “Olympic” term with a sponsored torch carry for twelve hours, from 7am – 7pm. All the classes participated throughout the school day and many, many other people joined in during the event! As you can see from the pictures below, we were fortunate that it didn’t rain until later on because when it came it didn’t stop…

A great thanks to all those who took part, you really did enter into the Olympic spirit and you are all heroes! From the money that is raised, a donation will be made to a local charity, founded by Steve Cram, to help children inAfrica.

This Summer term we have introduced a House System - Chris Hoy, Kelly Holmes, Ellie Simmonds and Steve Redgrave. We will share the Olympic values –friendship, respect, excellence, determination, courage, equality and inspiration – and explain how the children can win house points.
