A very special guest is coming to our school on Friday 22nd May 2026…
We are looking forward to welcoming GB Heptathlete Lucy Turner into our school. This is a wonderful fundraising opportunity for our school and we are proud to be collaborating in this sponsored event with Great Athletes to give our children the opportunity to feel inspired by a professional local legend. If we manage to raise enough money, we could be in for a chance to win some amazing new sports equipment for our school.
But we can’t do it without you!
We need help cheering your child on. Please support your child and sponsor them for this event, where they’ll take part in the exciting fitness challenge ran by Lucy and have the opportunity to ask her any questions they have regarding her career, life and what it takes to become a successful athlete.

All of the proceedings raised will go towards giving our children the best sports education possible and hopefully, we will raise enough to receive new sports equipment from the event sponsors Great Athletes!
