This week former Bomere Heath and Corbet School pupil Beth Trow visited Year 6 pupils to talk to them about her journey from sports day successes on our school field to the European U-18 Athletics Championships.

Following her representing Shrewsbury Athletic Club and Shropshire County, as well as West Bromwich Albion FC and Shrewsbury Town FC at football, Beth represented Team GB at the European U-18 Championships in Slovakia in July.

Beth gave a presentation about her athletics and football journeys, training, successes and future goals, as well as answering questions about her promising career. The Year 6 pupils asked some amazing questions! Beth really helped them understand the importance of determination, resilience and being self-reflective in order to improve.

We thank her for giving up time from her busy training schedule to come in to see us again – and we wish her all the best for her upcoming training and races!
