Jess, who has represented England at the highest level, led an energetic **circuit training session** with pupils, encouraging them to challenge themselves, work as a team, and have fun while staying active. Her enthusiasm and encouragement brought out the best in everyone, and the children loved taking part in the high-energy workout. Following the fitness session, Jess delivered an **inspirational assembly** where she shared her journey from grassroots football to playing for her country. She spoke about the importance of resilience, determination, and believing in yourself. The visit left a lasting impression on everyone. Pupils were excited to meet a professional athlete and came away motivated to set goals and pursue their passions, both on and off the field. We are incredibly grateful to Jess Clarke for spending the day with us and inspiring the next generation with her story and positive energy.
