International Inspiration Day

The Friday before the second May bank holiday has for many years been International Inspiration Day at Buckingham School. It is organised by the Rotary Club in association with the school's PE department to achieve two main objectives: to provide an opportunity for the sixth-formers studying Sports Leadership to have their skills assessed by members of the club and for the year sevens to work as teams exploring the cultures of other countries.

It's a complex day and I want to praise all the people who made it work last week, especially Margo Jackson who acts as linchpin for the day. Beyond that praise is due to all members of the Rotary Club and Inner Wheel who acted as assessors, the school's leadership and departmental teams, the sport leaders themselves and all of year seven who seemed to be having a great time!
