Celebrating Pupil Achievements Outside Of School
It is always great to be able to share news of pupils' co-curricular successes outside of school.
This week we were impressed to hear that Year 10 pupil, Raul Camargo-Jones, has qualified to represent Coventry in climbing in this summer’s International Children's Games, an International Olympic Committee-sanctioned event where children from around the world between the ages of 12 and 15 participate in a variety of sports and cultural activities. Raul was one of just two boys selected from 50 to represent Coventry. He placed first in a two-hour session in which he completed a number of different graded top rope climbs, along with a Bouldering challenge and he was also assessed on his technique as well. Raul will now be coached at Warwick University where the International Games climbing will be held this August. Raul currently trains three times a week and has excelled in his sport through hard work and commitment. He has also been climbing in school in Year 10 Games. Climbing is a challenging and exciting sport that featured in last year’s Olympics. We wish him the very best of luck in the summer; a huge well done to Raul!
