Olympian Rower Emily Ford Inspires Pupils at School

The school was thrilled to welcome Emily Ford, Olympic rower, for an exciting visit and sports session with the pupils. Emily spent two and a half hours at the school, leading classes through a series of circuits designed to get everyone active, inspired, and moving like an Olympian.

Each class had the opportunity to work with Emily in the hall, taking part in a 10-minute circuit where they could learn new exercises, challenge themselves, and experience what it feels like to train like an elite athlete.

The visit was also a sponsored event, giving pupils the opportunity to collect sponsor money and bring in their forms or contribute online. The money raised will be split between Great Athletes, to support Olympians and Paralympians as well as future school events, and the school, to help purchase brand new sports equipment for the children.

It was a fantastic opportunity for pupils to be active, learn from a real-life Olympian, and feel inspired by Emily’s dedication, teamwork, and sporting excellence. The school community would like to thank Emily for giving up her time to motivate and engage the pupils – an unforgettable experience for all!
