On Wednesday 20th June we held a Sports Ambassadors Assembly for the school.
Many of the children are ambassadors for a particular club which they attend out of school. The range of clubs they attend is wide and varied and includes football, dance, brownies and guides, karate and Thai boxing, athletics, rugby, volleyball, gymnastics and many more.
The children came dressed in their kits or uniforms and brought any equipment they use along with any medals and trophies they have won. They talked about their club and answered numerous questions that the pupils asked.
Everyone enjoyed the assembly and left feeling very motivated and wanting to rush off and sign up to the sports activities they had heard about.
Read on to find out more about all the clubs....
