Phil Healy Visit

As part of the Dare to Believe programme, we were lucky enough to be awareded a special visit from Irish sprinter Phil Healy.
Phil received a rapturous welcome from all our pupils as she entered our school hall on Monday morning. 
Phil gave an insight into her career through her presentation and gave so much time for questions throughout her visit. She is a true role model for all and her words will inspire many of our pupils into the future.
Our pupils even got some relay run tips at the end of the visit.  The future is bright!
