Jenna Downing visits Stanley Road

As part of our involvement in a programme called 21st Century Legacy, the World Champion Inline Skater Jenna Downing came to visit the school. She talked to the Key Stage 2 children in an extended assembly about her journey to achieve her goals. She emphasised how perseverance and hard work contributed to her success in her chosen sport. The 21st Century Legacy programme was set up after the London 2012 Olympics to ensure that Olympic values are taught to children across the UK.  Everyone had a brilliant morning with Jenna and we know she has really raised the aspirations of many of the KS2 children at Stanley Road today.
