This morning, we were delighted to welcome Olympic hopeful, Aleeya Sibbons, to talk to the children in our assembly. Aleeya Sibbons is a track and field athlete who competes internationally for Great Britain as a sprinter.

What a truly inspiring person Aleeya is! She gave up her time to come and thoughtfully answer a range of questions from children as young as 4 years old through to 11 year olds! Currently studying architecture, at The University of Bath, Aleeya is set to find out this weekend, if she has made it to a place in the Olympic team and will be going to Paris! We wish her the very best and hope to see her competing in this year’s Olympics, representing GB!

She really demonstrated to the children what hard work, tenacity and focus can lead to. She told the children that only you, yourself, can set limits on yourself: accept constructive criticism to improve and keep working towards your goals and you can do whatever you aspire to do!
