Our Great Athletes Sponsor Event took place and what an event it was! GB Wheelchair Tennis player, Antony Cotterill, visited our school to lead us in our sponsor event. Everybody tried their hardest with the circuit exercises (even the teachers!) before settling down to hear about Antony’s story.
In 2003, Antony broke his neck, leaving him unable to walk and using a wheelchair full-time. Inspired by watching wheelchair tennis during his recovery, he took up the sport and has since represented Great Britain at the Paralympic Games, winning numerous singles and doubles titles worldwide.
The whole school were fascinated by Antony’s experiences and definitely left feeling inspired. Well done everyone!
