She also spent some of her time in labour flying solo. She is now a wonderful mum to 'Georgie' and is my hero.' - Liz

'Chris is our new Head of PE who started work with us at Sompting Abbotts in January 2021, one day before the schools were closed for the second time. He continued to teach at school for the whole term, teaching on Zoom and looking after the children of key workers. He started a Lockdown Challenge for the school to keep fit by walking, cycling, running so that we collectively completed the distance from Land's End to John O'Groats. Once this was achieved we then continued the challenge to Athens. By the time we were back at school on 8th March both challenges were completed. Chris has been inspirational in helping us through Lockdown.' - Annette
