A number of pupils from Sydney Russell School have been selected to be part of their first ever Elite Sports Squad and were congratulated by GB athlete Adam Gemili.
Students have been selected based on displaying their high levels of sporting talent and commitment to the extra-curricular programme, competing for two sports teams over a year.
During the launch event, the students completed a variety of fitness tests and were all given an individual plan which will incorporate fitness sessions and areas to enable them to develop into elite athletes.
