Success in the World School Games

A very modest pupil returned from the World School Games in Qatar with a brilliant 4th place in the Individual Gymnastics Event.

This is an outstanding achievement considering there were over 50 competitors from around the world.  She also excelled in the Team Event with little Wales finishing in second place behind the Russian team.

She has a remarkable talent in Gymnastics and we wish her good luck for all future events.
