During this morning’s assembly we were very privileged as we were visited by an Olympic athlete—Linda Strachan—who is currently promoting the Commonwealth Games, which are happening in Birmingham, this July.  Linda will be promoting this important event to all the local schools during the summer term.

During the assembly, she gave a fascinating and informative presentation about her experiences in the Olympics. We found out that Linda competed in the summer 1988 and 1992 Summer Olympics in the discipline of Fencing. Linda was really great with our pupils and answered some thoughtful questions and pupils posed for photos with her afterwards, including our Sports Ambassadors.
