All their hard work, dedication and practice paid off today, January 31, when these three sportsmen took part in a Boccia competition at Newham Leisure Centre playing against three other local schools and were declared the overall winners.

The team will now go on to represent Newham in the finals of the London Youth Games.

Mr Gilbey went along with the boys and was thrilled to share in their joy when they found out they had won.

Boccia is a Paralympic sport similar to bowls or pétanque.

It was a close final match and Mr Gilbey said the boys were over the moon with their performance.

So are we! Well done from everyone at school.
