We were very lucky to welcome Gavin Kilkenny, a Swindon Town Football Club player, into school today! It was a fantastic opportunity for our children to meet a professional footballer, and we are very grateful to Gavin for taking the time to visit us.

To make the visit even more special, Swindon Town Football Club have generously gifted every child at our school a FREE ticket for themselves and one parent/carer to attend the match on Saturday 10th October!

A huge thank you to Swindon Town Football Club for their generosity and for supporting our school community.
