Amira, in the Thirds, recently achieved 27th place in the National Cross Country championships. In a race of nearly 200 of the very best young athletes in England in her age group, this position represents a significant success. Amira represented the West Midlands and achieved first place amongst her team, consolidating her position as a leading runner in the region. Well done Amira!

When we were not out on trips, our pupils were attending lessons with their exchange partners in our partner school, the Gymnasium Oldenfelde in Hamburg-Rahlstedt. It was fascinating to see the many differences between the English and German school systems.
