Great Athletes Visit

We’re very excited to be welcoming Great Athletes to the school soon! 

A top GB athlete (Paralympic wheelchair tennis player Antony Cotterill) will be visiting us on Wednesday 30th April and leading a sponsored fitness circuit with all pupils, followed by a motivational assembly and Q&A session.

The aim of the event is to inspire every child to be more physically active and, just as importantly, to encourage them to discover and pursue their passion in life.

The event will both connect the pupils to an extraordinary athlete role model and raise money for new sports equipment to improve physical activity in the school, as well as supporting both athletes and para-athletes, so that they can continue to inspire the next generation.

There is a sponsorship form for your child to use to help raise money for the event. You can also sponsor your child by visiting www.greatathletes.org and clicking on the button “Set up a Fundraising Page”. 

As a thank you, pupils will receive the following thank you gifts for meeting these milestones:-

• Raise anything: A5 sheet of motivational stickers
• Raise £5 or more: sheet of stickers, plus a blue Great Athletes wristband
• Raise £15 or more: all of the above plus a red wristband with the athlete’s signature
• Raise £30 or more: all of the above, plus a signed athlete poster

Please ensure that the sponsorship form and money are returned to the school office one week after the event has taken place.

Please also make sure that your children come to school on the event day
(Wednesday 30th April) wearing their PE kits.

Thank you in advance, I am sure this will be a memorable event which the children will enjoy.
Yours sincerely

Mr O Young
PE Co-ordinator
