On Monday 19 March twenty-five students competed in the City Schools Gymnastics held here at St. Edmund’s. There were a great number of gymnasts, both boys and girls, from eleven schools across the City and the standard of the performance were impressive.

St. Edmund’s gymnasts performed very well indeed, all their commitment and hard work training after school certainly paid off. We received numerous medals throughout the different sections of the competition and came a very respectable 3^rd position overall, only 0.9 off first place! This has enabled us to represent Wolverhampton in the Black Country Gymnastics Championships in June.
