We are delighted to celebrate the achievements of two of our former students who are OGA members. 

Mari Durward-Akhurst won bronze in the freestyle equestrian event on Saturday and Emma Wiggs won a gold and silver for canoeing.

Well done, we are proud of all the training, personal sacrifice, courage and talent that is needed to be a Paralympian.
