A huge thank you to

A huge thank you to Kevin Nelson from Cotswold Cutlass Fencing, who came in to school to give an exciting assembly all about fencing to the Prep children!

The children had the chance to learn more about this fantastic sport and see some fencing in action. Kevin has fenced for over 30 years, and has competed at a national level, with his highest ranking being 77!

He also told us all about the fencing club he runs at school on Friday lunchtimes for children in Years 4–6. We’re looking forward to seeing lots of our pupils getting involved and giving fencing a go! 🤺
