We are excited to be welcoming a top GB athlete to put the children through their paces in a sponsored fitness circuit and then hold an inspiring assembly for the whole school. Natalie Powell will be visiting our school on Thursday 8th May. The aim of the event is to help the school raise money for new sports equipment, improve levels of physical activity and wellbeing, and to inspire the children to be more active and follow their dreams.

On the event day, all pupils will take part in a sponsored fitness circuit run by their athlete, a terrific way to get all children excited about sport and realise that getting moving is really fun! Their athlete will then share their incredible sporting journey, a story of resilience and determination in a fun and interactive assembly. There will also be an opportunity to ask any burning questions in a Q&A session with their inspiring role-model at the end!

The children will be bringing home a sponsorship form today, so make sure to check their bags for this! There are even some fun games on the back of the forms – don’t forget to enter the Great Athletes competition by emailing a photo of the completed sponsorship form to hello@greatathletes.org.
