Olympic gold medallist drops by
Former Olympic 100m relay champion Mark Lewis-Francis visited Hogsthorpe Primary School last Friday to inspire children to keep fit and healthy and take part in physical activity.
Mark - who won gold at Athens 2004 - worked with students, offering tips on how to become the sport’s stars of the future.
Acting principal Sharon Landrey said: “Our students love PE and everyone enjoyed working with Mark and getting the opportunity to see and hold his Olympic gold medal was extra special.”
Mark said: “Seeing the smiles on children’s faces enjoying PE is as enjoyable as lining up in a 100m final.
“I had a great time at Hogsthorpe Primary School. The talent and enthusiasm was hugely impressive.”
