Sky Sports living for Sport mentor and former Great Britain Boxer Hannah Beharry provided support to pupils by delivering a whole School assembly, and a number of interactive workshops; covering the 6 keys to success, teambuilding, and fitness.

Greenhouse Head Coach Dan O’Brien along with Hannah will continue to mentor pupils throughout the academic year, inspiring and motivating them to exceed in sport. “After meeting the young people involved in the project I can see how much it will benefit them. It will help them to grow in confidence, try new things and also feel very important. I think it's a fantastic project picked for the right people, geared with the right teacher who gets the project. I wish you guys all the best and success! (Hannah, Athlete Mentor)

 

On Friday 10th April, the group will travel to Osterley Sky Sports HQ where they will film their very own Sky Sports news story and tour the facilities.

We aim to promote and stimulate lifelong participation in physical activity at pupils chosen level of participation.”
