OLYMPIC DREAMS

Stretford High School has been selected as one of the winners of the BBC
and British Council Olympic Dreams School Search. We entered a
competition to say how we at SHS are international in our approach to
developing sport and how this would help us to prepare athletes of the
future. WE WON!!!

This was announced on BBC breakfast news on Wednesday morning. Some of

our lucky students will travel down and stay the night in a luxury hotel along
with other winners from other schools to London in January for a ceremony.
Following that, we will be twinned with a highly successful sports school in
Pakistan and have the chance to visit – with our students!!!!
