School Games Gymnastic Champions

Stokes Wood entered 3 teams of 4 gymnasts into the Level 1 competition. They performed so well and came back to school with a trophy for 1st place in the team event, 2nd place and 4th place as well!
Individually, we won gold and silver.
If that wasn’t enough, the Stokes Wood teams won the Spirit of the Games trophy for their sporting behaviours, teamwork, effort and resilience.
Well done!

The team who finished first then went on to the County Championship competition where they won gold, only dropping 10 points in the whole competition. A truly amazing achievement for the children and coaches.
