πŸ… Marches School Gymnastics Achievements! πŸ…

We are thrilled to share the fantastic accomplishments of our 12 talented gymnasts who recently competed at Border Counties Gymnastics in a schools competition. From elite athletes to novices, everyone demonstrated remarkable strength, skill, and poise. It was a pleasure to watch all the incredible performances!

✨ Competition Highlights:

Mixed Elite Team Winners: Aneta, Ellie, Maisie, Ollie, Josh, and Isaac
Intermediate Boys Champion: Josh, narrowly beating his brother
Elite Boys Champion: Isaac
Elite Girls Runner-Up: Aneta
Girls Team: Connie, Rithini, Edith, Bridgit, Martha, and Evie, who fought valiantly against tough competition

Additionally, we had two gymnasts competing at the British Gymnastics Championships in Liverpool:

Aneta Jansa (Year 10): Finished 11th in the all-around final and qualified for the beam final

Isaac Price (Year 9): Finished 39th in the all-around and qualified for the vault final, where he placed 8th

Aneta and Isaac had the amazing experience of competing alongside senior gymnasts such as Courtney Tulloch and Jessica Gadirova. We are incredibly proud of their achievements and can't wait to see what they do next!

🌟 Raising Awareness of Ableism – Assembly Led by Our SENCO 🌟

As part of our ongoing Ban the Banter initiative, our SENCO led an assembly on ableism for all year groups this week. The assembly explored physical, mental, and social ableism, helping students understand how discrimination can affect individuals in different ways.

Students reflected on the impact of language and attitudes, challenged stereotypes, and considered how they can contribute to a more inclusive school environment. To continue this important conversation, students have been invited to take an active role in raising awareness of ableism within the school community.

A huge thank you to our SENCO for delivering such an insightful and thought-provoking assembly! πŸ™

πŸ”Έ Identifies what you know and what needs more work.
πŸ”Έ Quick and portableβ€”study anywhere!
