Athlete Visit!

Great Athletes

We are very excited to announce that we have arranged for an inspiring athlete to visit the children at school next month. Joe Roebuck is an Olympic swimmer who has represented Great Britain throughout his career, amassing a total of 21 national medals, as well as being crowned British champion 10 times between 2005 and 2014. He is a fantastic role model who will show the children the power of hard work, perseverance, grit and resilience.

The children are being sponsored to complete a fun fitness circuit alongside the athlete. The money raised will be used by your school to support greater physical activity in school and to enable Great Athletes to keep running and support & fund top athletes to compete and train at the highest level.
