On Friday last week, 14 of our Year 12 students gained valuable work experience at the 95th English Schools Athletics Championships. As Athlete Kit Assistants, they worked behind the scenes supporting competitors, accompanying athletes onto the track and field, and helping ensure the smooth running of this prestigious event. The experience provided a unique insight into elite sport, allowing students to witness first-hand the dedication, talent, and teamwork required at the highest level. An inspiring and unforgettable opportunity for everyone involved!
