This evening I was invited to attend King Alfred's Annual Sports Awards at Wantage Centre site. It was an enjoyable occasion where we were all able to celebrate the fantastic achievements of our young people. There was an Olympic theme this year, especially because one of the pupils from the school has been chosen to carry the torch through Oxfordshire. The PE department at the college have been presented with a National Award for all the Olympic/Paralympic work which they have done over the year.
The guest speaker for the evening was Lesley Owusu, former 400m runner at World, Commonwealth and European stages. She gave an inspirational talk about how she came to win in such a hugely competitive environment. I am sure that many young people will be encouraged by her athletic career.
