British Athlete Sprints into SS Peter and Paul!

By Mr J Morgan23rd January 2019

Last Friday, SS Peter and Paul were visited by a British Athlete – Leon Baptiste. He spent his time putting the children (and staff) through their paces in a ten minute high intensity workout and explaining to them the benefits of eating healthy foods and living a healthy lifestyle.

Leon finished by giving an assembly to the whole school, detailing his journey from school into athletics and now – boxing. He shared with them the many times in his career he had real lows, but taught them the importance of not giving up, as by showing determination to succeed, Leon managed to win two gold medals in the 2009 Commonwealth Games.

The children were then presented with their awards for raising sponsorship money, with Oskar getting a personalised picture with Leon and his gold medals for raising such a wonderful amount of money.

Well done everyone and thank you to everyone that helped sponsor the children. Leon commented about SS Peter and Paul that he was made to feel so welcome and what wonderful children we have at this school. We couldn’t agree more!

Towers Residential – Day Three

By Mr J Morgan1st December 2018

On the third and final day of the residential, the children started by stripping their beds, packing and tidying their rooms (including hoovering).

We then split into our two groups that we had been in the previous day. Groups 1 & 2 went canoeing, where they also had a chance to jump into the water (including some staff).

Groups 3 & 4 went down into the pitch black mines where they had to climb and wade through water all in complete darkness.

The children then returned to Towers for soup and sandwiches before getting on the coach to return to school.
