Miss Lewis attended the Shropshire PE Conference at Shrewsbury Town today, where she had the honour of meeting Olympian Beth Tweddle, Bronze Medallist in Gymnastics at the London Olympics in 2012.

Miss Lewis also had the pleasure of connecting with former Lioness Sue Smith, further fuelling her dedication to enhancing sports and PE.

She eagerly shared her thoughts and ideas with other schools during the conference.

Great job to our footballers this week for taking part in the competition at Shrewsbury School. We made it to the quarter-finals, and although the game ended in a 0-0 draw, it’s unfortunate that we lost in a penalty shootout against Meole Brace.
