Twenty pupils from St Edmund have competed in the City Gymnastics Championships at Highfields School. They were all a credit to the school and performed exceptionally well in a large field of competitors.

In the beginner section, Bethany Walters really impressed the judges with her floor routine and gained 3rd place.  She then went on to achieve 3rd place overall in the city. Well done, Bethany!

Marianne Peralta also competed very well and came a very respectable 7th place overall. Other beginners were: Themis Bokini, Joshua Dodd-Matthews, Grace Hewitt, Isobel Rafferty and Seren Young.

In the novice section, Erin O’Hara performed   exceptionally well on both disciplines. She gained 3rd place for floor and vault, and 2nd overall in the city. A super first competition! This result  together with  Christina Clifton, Morgan Lavender, Daneille Lim and Rebecca Butler, placed the team into 1st position –  gaining the Gold Medal – City Champions!

Other novice performers were: Amelie Harris, Zuzanna Laskowska and Chiara Montana.

Well done to all performers and good luck to the team who will represent Wolverhampton in the Black Country School Games on 18th June.

Special thanks go to Mrs Swindells for organising the competition and for all her hard work in helping to prepare these pupils for their competition.
