Inspiring the next sporting generation - April 2018

We were very fortunate to have a visit from Nigel Willard today. He came in to run some taster tennis sessions for the children and led an assembly for the whole school. The children all loved the activities and listening to Mr Willard's stories about successful tennis players from Lavendon and other local areas. Please visit the Olney Tennis Club website if your child is interested in taking up tennis outside of school.

First everyone got there and then the junior girls got ready for their race. While they were doing their race, all of us were cheering. Next, it was the junior boys. They were all doing very well. After it was the senior girls, they were all near the front. Last but not least, was the senior boys. Although it was a tough race, they did very well with a top finish of 47th.
