Lily And Eva Make A Splash At ISA National Swimming Gala

A proud Mr Duigan was delighted to impart an eyewitness report of our pupils' exploits from the ISA National Swimming Gala at the Olympic Pool in London last Sunday 21 January.

He told the attentive audience at this morning's Celebration Assembly of his pride at seeing Lily Carroll (J4H) and Eva Plevin (J6H) take to the blocks resplendant in their ISA Midlands swimming caps.

Mr Duigan and Mrs Vaughan (Crackley Director of Sport and J5V Class Teacher) reflected on the huge achievement the girls had made; a day made more special still by the knowledge that both had achieved a personal best in their separate disciplines. 

Well done girls!
