Tuesday sees Football and Hockey, Wednesday, Basketball and Badminton before the whole school athletics event at Longford Park on Thursday 12th July. The final sport is Gymnastics on the 13th and the curtain comes down with the closing ceremony that afternoon. The event will maximise participation but students will also be able to buy tickets for each event to watch priced at 1 per event or 5 for a weeks pass! More details will come out soon.

A quick word with Sir Alex; Words of wisdom from footballs greatest ever manager; We should be really hard and firm on any form or shape of racism.

Only 4 months to the start of London 2012!!!!!!

My Olympic Dreams.. We speak to staff to ask their thoughts on London 2012. This week, Mr Hill, media manager and huge help to the work of the PE department! What is your interest in Sport? I like to watch sport and listen to sport mainly football occasionally I play. I do get hooked on the Olympic games though and like sports tournaments in general. I support Manchester United. What are you most looking forward to about London 2012? Field and track events - I want to see how a GB football side fair at the games. I like to watch the boxing also. I think we have a good chance at some medals and may come in the top 5 overall. What is your favourite Olympic memory? I have three; Redgrave getting his last medal. Kelly Holmes winning the double with Steve Cram commentary and Seb Coe winning Gold in Moscow.
