Crescent had an amazing time at yesterday’s Independent Schools’ Association’s (ISA) Midlands Junior Swimming Gala bringing home a super haul of medals. The event took place at Walsall Baths with 27 schools taking part.

The children swam 25m in the pool and the races included both individual events and team relays. Crescent's pupils showed great confidence, teamwork and skill and were incredibly well-behaved. Pupils encouraged and supported each other, from the start through to the finish of every single race.

Head of PE and Games, Rachel McCollin, said, “This was the best gala I have ever attended, the children were super, so supportive of each other and the medals just kept coming in. It looks like Crescent has finished third overall which is an incredible feat when you realise that many of the schools competing have their own pools.”

Crescent pupils claimed two individual golds, four individual silvers and three individual bronzes. The full results will be confirmed next week.

A huge well done to all the children who took part.
