Chris Gregory, who represented England in beach volleyball at the Gold Coast in April visited the school today (Tuesday) to help lead a Year Seven PE lesson on the final morning of term.

Despite the beach-like weather, pupils feet remained on the grass as they worked on their hand-eye co-ordination by catching tennis balls under Chris’ guidance.

Chris and his partner Jake Sheaf came close to a medal at this year’s Commonwealths but the pair lost out to New Zealand in the bronze medal match.
