Year 10 members of the Girls Active group who will be travelling to Wimbledon.

The 2019 Girls Active Group are eagerly anticipating their forthcoming trip to London where they will be able to join the crowds of tennis fans and experience the excitement of Wimbledon.

Each year, a small group of girls are selected by members of our PE Dapartment to attend the trip as a reward for their positive contribution in PE lessons and for encouraging girls to take part in sport and physical activity. This year's group includes Year 10 students, pictured here, Ebony H, Tia C, Imogen D, Emillie J, Morgan S and Isabel H, and Year 12 students Caitlin S and Chloe C.

Accompanied by Mrs Stansmore-O'Connor and Miss Short, Director and Assistant Director for Learning respectively, the group will travel by train to London on July 2nd to join the Wimbledon fans watching matches on both Court 3 and Centre Court. The overnight stay in London will also include a visit to Madame Tussauds where the group will be able to come face to face with stars of sport, music, TV and film.

Prior to the trip, the group will be fundraising to support their travel and accommodation costs; they will soon be hosting a Cake Bake event and raffle.
