Mr Andrew Fitzmaurice CEO of Nord Anglia Education joined the staff, parents and students of Northbridge this week to formally open the new Sports Hall.
The celebration involved the cutting of red ribbon, some speeches, followed by primary teachers versus students dodgeball, senior players versus staff basketball and Mr Austin versus all challengers at tennis.
It was real time of celebration and enjoyment together marking the establishment of this outstanding community resource for Northbridge.
