Jodie Williams, Olympic Athlete, visits SSAS!

20.04.26 Great Athlete

On 20th April, what an exciting day we had at school with the Great Athletes event! In the morning, our KS2 students participated in a motivational fitness circuit led by none other than Olympic bronze medalist sprinter, Jodie Williams. Her energy was infectious, and the children were absolutely incredible, giving their all during the activities.

In the afternoon, our KS1 and EYFS children joined in on the fun, learning about Jodie’s inspiring journey. Despite being unbeaten in over 150 races as a teenager, Jodie faced a setback with an injury that prevented her from competing in the London Olympics 2012. However, her determination and perseverance taught us all a valuable lesson: never give up on your dreams!

A huge congratulations to everyone who fundraised for this event! Your efforts will soon be rewarded with prizes. Let’s keep the spirit of fitness and determination alive!
