Old Boy shows off his Olympic Medal

Pennington Infant School old boy Nick Rogers showed our children his Olympic Medal today.

When Nick was at our school he was taught by Miss Groves, our present Deputy Head-Teacher.


Nick (on the right) won his silver medal with his partner Joe Glanfield in the 470 class sailing event at Beijing. It was his second olympic silver medal, having also been on the podium in Athens.

It was a great thrill to be able to ask Nick questions and to be able to touch his Olympic Medal. We hope that Nick's example will encourage our children to work hard at their sport.

With another Pennington old boy, Sam Vokes, playing football in the Championship for Wolverhampton Wanderers and being in the Wales National Squad, we have some great role models for Pennington children who would like to take their sport seriously.
